Schlumberger Celebrates 20 Years of Smart Card Innovation

A couple of excerpts -

"The current rate of evolution of the smart card means that by 2005, cards will offer over 1MB memory - five times as much as the most advanced cards currently available - and processing capability will be an order of magnitude higher than today. On the software side we will see the increasing use of open systems and the introduction of enhanced security with cryptography and biometrics becoming standard. Smart cards will also be 'network-friendly' with their own IP number."

"This is where the smart card comes into its own. Smart cards have already been accepted as the most portable and secure system. With the introduction of biometrics and additional cryptographic capabilities to ensure even higher levels of security, individuals can carry their own personalized digital ID around with them: ''smart cards maketh digital man.'' Enter your smart card into your mobile phone, banking terminal or computer, present it to your doctor or at the airport security counter, and it will enable secure access to all the appropriate information in order to allow you to communicate, execute financial transactions, be reimbursed for medical expenses and travel freely."
