Jave in smart cards, interesting

techweb.com

Java could change that, Wentker believes,
because it would let vendors easily write
applications to run on a single card. It would
separate the operating system and the
applications, allow a core set of tools and
enable a coherent security model.

Visa is so confident that Java will help smart
cards take off, he said, that it expects to issue
300 million of them by 2002. Sun is also
jumping on the bandwagon, with executives
spending much of their time at the JavaOne
developers conference pushing smart card
technology.

In his keynote speech on Tuesday, Sun CEO
Scott McNealy showed of his Enigma smart
card, with which he can log onto any
computer at Sun and get to his own user
desktop.
