Abstract
We first describe how data compression can be suitable for the smart card context. After looking at the different models of compressor, we choose the best suited for smart cards at the present time: the static lossless compressor, mainly the Huffman and the arithmetic. The static Huffman algorithm we implemented and the memory size needed for a smart card implementation are detailed. Thereafter, the first experimental results we obtain on some typical files permit to conclude that our compressor is implementable in smart cards. This paper opens up the way to a new approach of data compression algorithms for small files using very small resources. This work is still in progress.
