Java card forum (JCF)

The Java Card Forum (JCF) is an internationally operating forum composed of staff from various smart card manufacturers that promotes Java Card technology.

The JCF forum develops the specifications for the smart card operating system and the programming interfaces. In addition to the permanent strategic partners, there are various companies that do not meet all the requirements for full membership and have an observing status. However, their interests are equally taken care of by the Java Card Forum.
