In this paper we present a novel analysis that combines control and data flow analysis with an analysis that tracks active transactions in a Java Card bytecode program. We formally prove the correctness of the analysis and show how it can be used to solve the above problem of guaranteeing that transactions in a Java Card bytecode program are well-formed and thus do not give rise to run-time errors." }
