Hello.

It depends on your needs. I know three Java Cards with crypto module:
Cyberflex (Schlumberger), GemXpresso (Gemplus) and SmartCafe (G&D). Each
one has its features and its advantatges. What you need: high speed in
computation, large memory storage or rapid software development?
> How about cards without crypto?
There is another avaible cards (I know Odyssey from Bull), but it depends
on the need of crypto functions.

I think it's possible, but at nowadays it's difficult. I haven't found a
specific tool under Linux to work with Java Cards, yet.
Write you.
