Army kicks off new smart ID cards

An example of the chip-based ID cards the Department of Defense has ordered for 4.3 million military personnel.

PARIS, Oct. 26 — The U.S. military is spearheading a switch to “smart” identity cards that could open up a new growth market as the world becomes obsessed with security after last month’s hijack attacks. The U.S. defence department has ordered chip-based ID cards for 4.3 million military personnel over the next 18 months to tighten security on access to buildings, including the Pentagon, and to computer networks, including access to encrypted e-mail and online transactions.
