HISTORY
In the summer of 1989, Dallas Semiconductor Corp. produced the first stainless-steelencapsulated memory device called iButton. Java Ring was introduced at their JavaOne Conference in 1998 Java Ring is a stainless-steel ring, that houses a 1million-transistor processor, called an iButton . The ring has 134 KB of RAM , 32 KB of ROM

iBUTTON
The iButton was invented and is still manufactured exclusively by Dallas Semiconductor Each iButton starts with a guaranteed-unique registration number engraved in the silicon .
Working
The Java Ring is in fact a Java smart card, which is capable of running Java programs A serial reader connects to a computer's serial port. Communication with a smart card is based on the APDU format. System architecture on Java card
Working
An applet written to run on the Java ring follows a very simple structure. The methods are as follows: deselect -- another applet, or possibly this one, is about to be selected install -- installs the applet process -- incoming APDUs arrive here select -- called when a select command is received
Security
The java ring provides very high degree of security for the confidential data that is stored in the NVRAM memory. Armored with stainless steel for the hard knocks of everyday use. Java rings are authorized through Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) so that no one can steal a persons ring and use that ring.
