Java Card refers to a technology that allows small Java-based applications (applets) to be run securely on smart cards and similar devices. It is widely used in SIM cards (used in GSM mobile phones) and ATM cards.

Java Card was first introduced by Schlumberger in cooperation with Gemplus, and is based on the Java Card API specification developed by Sun Microsystems.
