WOLF: a Research Platform to Write NFC Secure Applications on Top of Multiple Secure Elements (With an Original SQL-Like Interface)
Anne Marie, Benjamin Renaut, Pr. Serge, Amosse Edouard · International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications · 2014
This article presents the WOLF (Wallet Open Library Framework) platform which supports an original interface for NFC developers called “SE-QL”. SE-QL is a SQL-like interface which eases and optimizes NFC secure application development in making the heterogeneity of the Secure Element (SE) transparent. SE implementation could be “embedded” (eSE) in the mobile device, or inside the SIM Card (UICC), or “on-host” software-based, or in the Cloud (e.g. through HCE); every SE implementation has its own interface(s) making NFC secure-application development extremely cumbersome and complex. Proposed SE-QL solves this problem. This article demonstrates the feasibility and attractiveness of our approach based upon an original high-level API.
