Abstract
Methods and arrangements are provided for use in developing, testing and programming portable security tokens and other like devices. In accordance with certain implementations, a solution manager tool is configured to substantially simplify the design of smart cards. The solution manager tool essentially integrates various design considerations associated with portable security tokens into an interactive environment that includes a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows developers to interactively and iteratively modify design requirements/features during the development process. The solution manager tool is configurable to support a multitude of different design requirements/features. By way of example, when used for smart card development, certain implementations of the solution manager tool may integrate security policy, file system management, operating system (OS) image selection, supported command sets on the smart card, GSM menu design, GSM event sinking, and other like selectable requirements/features.
