JAVA RING
A Java Ring is a finger ring that contains a small
microprocessor with built-in
capabilities for the user, a sort of smart card that is wearable on
a finger. Sun
Microsystemss Java Ring was introduced at their Java One
Conference in 1998
and, instead of a gemstone, contained an inexpensive
microprocessor in a stainlesssteel iButton running a Java
virtual machine and preloaded with applets (little application
programs). The rings were built by Dallas Semiconductor.
Workstations at the conference had "ring readers" installed on
them that
downloaded information about the user from the conference
registration system. This information was then used to enable a
number of personalized services. For example, a robotic
machine made coffee according to user preferences, which it
downloaded when they snapped the ring into another "ring
reader."
The Java Ring is an extremely secure Java-powered electronic
token with a
continuously running, unalterable real-time clock and rugged
packaging, suitable for many applications. The jewel of the Java
Ring is the Java iButton -- a onemillion transistor, single chip
trusted microcomputer with a powerful Java Virtual Machine
(JVM) housed in a rugged and secure stainless-steel case.

History
IN SUMMER of 1989, Dallas
Semiconductor corp. produced the
first stainless- steel encapsulated
memory device called ibutton.
The ibutton is the main
component of java ring.
Java ring was introduced at their
javaone conference in 1998.

Components
Java virtual machine.
RAM
ROM
Real-time clock
Ibutton
Blue dot reciptor

ibutton
The jewel of java ribg is the java ibuttona
one million transistor, single chip trusted
microcomputer with a powerfull Java
Virtual Machine(JVM) housed in a rugged
and a secure stainless steel case.
Originally called touched memory
devices,they were later renamed
ibuttons.packaged like batteries,
ibuttons have a single active electrical
contact on the top surface, with the
stainless steel shell serving as ground.
.

Blue dot reciptor

Blue dot receptor lets you communicate with
ibuttons from pcs to microprocessor and
embeded systems.
The read/write operation will be done by this
blue dot receptor provided by RS232 serial
port adaptor.
Receptor cable connects to the USB port of PC
or any embeded system.
The receptor itself affixes to any accesible
spot.
The information is transferred between the
ibutton and pc with momentary touching java
ring.

Working
Java ring is a programme with the
applets according to our application.
For specific class of user specific java
applets is preloaded in the java ring.
All the information of the user is
stored in the java ring.
User simply presses the signets of
the java ring against the blue dot
receptor and the system connected
to the receptor performs the function
that the applets instructs to.

security
This barrier substrate and the triple layer
metal construction techniques employed
in the silicon fabrication effectively deny
access to the data stored in NVRAM. If
any attempt made to penetrate these
barriers, the NVRAM data is immidiately
erased.
Java rings are authorized through
Personal Identification Numbers(PINs) so
that one can steal a persons ring and use
that ring.

Application
Although java rings arent widely used
yet, such ribg or similar devices could
have a number of real- world
applications such as startin your car
and having all your vehicle
components (such as seats, mirrors
and radio selections) automatically
adjusts to your preferences.
Providing sevurity.
Personalised services.

Conclusion
Highly durable.
Highly secure.
Used in personal computing.
