The Java Card specification extends Java technology into smart cards. The FISC (Financial Information Service Co., Ltd.) IC card specification is the only financial smart card standard in Taiwan. In the Peng-Hu Health Care IC Card Project, we adopted FISC-compatible IC cards. In this paper, we describe an approach to develop a FISC-compatible application, based on the health care file system, using the Java Card specification. A shareable interface is defined to share the FISC file system with applets on the same card.
