User Centric Smart Card Ownership Model (UCOM) gives the freedom of choice of respective applications to the smart card users. The user-centric architecture requires a trusted entity to be present on the smart card to provide security assurance and validation to the requesting application providers. In this paper, we propose the inclusion of a trusted computing platform for smart cards that we refer as the Trusted Environment & Execution Manager (TEM). This is followed by the rationale behind

We propose an attestation protocol that provides an on-demand security validation of a smart card by its respective manufacturer. Finally, the attestation protocol is informally analysed, and its test implementation and performance measurements are presented.
