- Smartcard performance evaluation Compare performance of several smartcards (and iButtons). + performance of APDUs (read, write, DES, RSA, ...) + performance of operations (copying, arithmetic, ...) + communication speed + memory capacity (by incrementally increasing local variable size until it hits EEPROM) + price + number of bugs + development environment, especially whether we can do it on UNIX Coming up with a good benchmark test for smartcards may be fun as well.
