Full textacceptance of multi-purpose Smart Cards. The findings of this study will be beneficial to facilitate the use of Smart-Card enabled system both n universities and in other institutions which either have these systems in use or plan to invest on these systems in the future. The research methodology employed within this study is based on quantitative methods. A survey instrument comprising 51 5-point Likert-type questions has been developed and applied to 207 university Middle East Technical University students. The data collected has been analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis to categorize factors having items. According to analysis results, the data classified under 5 factors
Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Behavioral Intention, Anxiety, and Technological Complexity. Then, the relations between these 5 factors identified and a measurement model was created. For assessing the proposed model Discriminant and Convergent Validity scores were calculated by Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Then, Structural Equation Modeling was conducted with Partial Least Squares for validating the model&rsquo
s estimated influence. The study has shown that the main Technology Acceptance Model constructs fit for determining the university students&rsquo
intention of Smart Card usage except for Perceived Ease of Use over Behavioral Intention. Moreover, study showed that Anxiety and Technological Complexity were the external factors that have effect on willingness of using multi-purpose Smart Cards. If students have Anxiety, this affects their perception of easiness of the system and it has negative indirect effect on the perceived usefulness and direct effect on intention. Technological Complexity is another factor which has direct affect on the perception of easiness and usefulness and intention.

Full textZero knowledge protocols is a lesser known type of protocol that can be used for identification. These protocols are especially designed not to reveal any information during an identification process that can be misused later on, neither by the one who should be convinced of the identity of the user, nor by anyone else that is eavesdropping. Many of these protocols are also especially designed for implementation in smart cards. The more common type of card with a magnetic stripe has during the last few years become more susceptible to attacks since they are easily copied. Smart cards combined with a secure identification protocol has been predicted to be the solution to this problem. Zero knowledge protocols are one of several types of protocols that can be used for this purpose.
In this thesis a number of zero knowledge protocols are examined that have been presented since the introduction of the concept in the 1980's. In addition to the protocol descriptions information is also given about how to choose parameter values, and what progress and discoveries have been made concerning the security of the protocols. Some assumptions that are easy to overlook in an implementation are also highlighted, and an evaluation of the protocol performances is made.
The conclusion is that zero knowledge protocols are both efficient and adaptable, while they at the same time provide high security. Because of this it may not be necessary to compromise between these properties even for simpler types of smart cards.

This thesis explores and evaluates the essential strategies needed for transit agencies to switch from traditional fare collection systems to smart cards. More transit agencies today are investing in smart card technology as part of their new automated fare collection (AFC) systems. Although the benefits of switching to smart card systems have been well-researched and acknowledged by transit agencies, it is unclear how a transit agency should go about implementing a smart card system in order to achieve optimum customer acceptance and to reap maximum benefits from the system. Recent experience has shown that a range of implementation policy decisions can go a long way towards speeding or slowing down the adoption of the technology by customers. A case study approach is used here to identify and evaluate the effectiveness and impacts of policies used by five transit agencies that currently employ smart cards. These policies fall into two categories: 1) distribution, operational and usage policies, and 2) fare policies. Distribution, operational and usage policies must be designed to facilitate and enhance customer adoption of smart cards, especially in the case where alternative fare media will co-exist.
(cont.) Fare policies are designed to differentiate smart cards from other fare media through differential pricing strategies, frequent-use bonuses and low price guarantees. The thesis also examines the use of fare models in assisting transit agencies to predict ridership and revenue, especially focusing on the features needed in these models to predict the usage rates of smart cards and their associated unique fare options. Finally, the findings from the research are integrated and used to develop a set of guidelines for use by a transit agency that is switching to a smart card fare payment system. The main topics of these guidelines were identified as: 1) the use of fare policy incentives, 2) balance between restrictions and alternatives with respect to co-existing fare media, 3) accessibility to smart card support services, 4) capitalizing on the superiority of smart card technology, and 5) the use of a single card. To illustrate the usefulness of the guidelines, they were applied to a case study of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA)'s new AFC program, the CharlieCard.

Full textRecently the society has been turning from the use of paper-based technologies to plastic cards in certain spheres of our life. With the emergence and proliferation of high technologies we cannot content with the security provided bypaper only. Therefore the society has chosen plastic to protect its information because it offers far more security based not only on human perception but also on machine-readable elements.
The number of plastic cards in circulation in different spheres of our everyday life increases constantly. They replace money, documents and allow easy and safe access to some services. In spite of its security the plastic card however is subjected to fraud.
Plastic card fraud results in significant losses for the various industries. Since the first appearance of plastic cards methods of committing fraud have changed dramatically. Now there is a wide range of high technologies at the disposal of criminals as well as card manufacturers.
Therefore we have put the great emphasize of this work on the analysis of the most common card technologies in the Plastic Card World, the magnetic stripe and the chip, existing crimes and main means of their committing. And we also have revealed the weak and strong sides of the prevention techniques, which are currently in use.

With the rapid development of various mobile devices, internet-of- things technologies were designed and applied in many industry fields, and they have shown ubiquitous impact on people’s daily lives. The motivation of this research is to explore the possibility of applying internet-of- things technologies to serve passengers taking the railroad transportation. A background story was created to describe six travelling scenarios: purchasing tickets, passing the gate, waiting for the train, boarding, getting off, and shopping in the station. The story was transformed into a questionnaire to investigate whether respondents agreed with the features mentioned in the scenarios. Based on the questionnaire results, the internet-of-things framework was applied and the product development process was used to design the system. There are three layers in this proposed model: the sensor layer of “smart tickets” and “sensory equipments” used to detect the surrounding environment, the network layer of a “cyber-physical station system” for data integration and analysis, and the application layer of “Apps on mobile devices” used by passengers. This model integrated the “objects”, which were the smart tickets and the Apps on the mobile devices, the “linking” among objects, sensor equipment and the CPS, and this model led to the formation of the overall “network” system. In order to achieve the integration of software and hardware, this study applied UML case diagrams, sequential diagrams, activity diagrams, and other tools to design the software system; for the hardware part, the conceptual designs of a smart ticket and the sensory equipments were proposed. Therefore, ticket booking system, ticket checking system, platform security system, train sensory system, smart tickets, mobile devices applications, non-contact automatic gating machines, waiting line sensors, and train car sensors were proposed in this study to serve as a reference for planning new train stations in the future.

Consumers demand for more sophisticated payment tools such as smart cards, are growing rapidly and are changing people’s daily life nowadays. Smart cards integrate a microchip on a plastic payment card, enabling the card to perform multiple functions whilst enhancing security. This study empirically examines the relationship between consumers’ innova-tion characteristics, technology readiness, perceived risk and the intention to use chip card. At a high level, there are some key conclusions from this research: • There are strong positive relationship between consumers’ perceived usefulness, at-titude and behavioral intention on use smart cards. There is a similar result on the compatibility but an opposite outcome on the perceived ease of use. • Payment should be combined with personal information, because consumers would like to consolidate information on their cards and enhance the functionality, in sup-port of multi-application. • The degree of consumers’ optimism significant affects the attitude and the behav-ioral intention on use smart cards. • The research shows that convenience and security are key to any successful smart card offering.

With increasing applications of EasyCard, U-bus Corporation introduced a Easy card ticketing system in order to improve customer service and reduce passengers’ waiting time. In the past, there is very limited research about new technology adoption into highway transportation. Therefore, this study adopts “technology acceptance model”(TAM) perpective to analyze passengers adoption behaviors of this new ticketing system. The results shows that “system quality” and “comparative advantage” are the critical external factors that influence people’s acceptance.This study is conducted through questionnaires. 255 questionnaires were collected and SPSS is used for data analysis. The results show that “system quality” and “comparative advantage” respectively has a positive effect on “perceived usefulness” and “perceived ease of use”. “Perceived usefulness” and “perceived ease of use” respectively has a positive effect on “the attitude”. “The attitude” has a positive effect on “actual behavior”. The research hypotheses described above all have been accepted. This study concludes with academic and practical managerial implications and suggestions for further study.
