Curated list of JavaCard applications

The goal is to provide curated catalog of all open-source JavaCard applets and applications relevant for JavaCard development. The list is compiled by complete search for all GitHub, SourceForge and GitLab repositories with 'javacard.framework' keyword.

☝️ You are encouraged to contribute - please create a pull request and insert entry into suitable section lexicographically. Thank you!

The projects collected in this list were analyzed and published (June 2017) in Analysis of JavaCard open-source ecosystem and again in June 2023 in The adoption rate of JavaCard features by certified products and open-source projects. If you will find this list helpful, please consider citing our work as:
