To all, IDTEK Announces New Licensing Plan <<excerpt>>Smart-card acceptance is expected to surge over the next year as hardware vendors, responding to increased demand for enterprise security, install smart-card readers into their hardware. IBM and Hewlett-Packard Co. plan to announce PCs with smart-card readers and applications, following on the footsteps of an announcement in September by Compaq Computer Corporation. Microsoft also is trying to push into the market, which analyst Jonathan Cassell of Dataquest Inc., in San Jose, Calif., predicts will jump from last year's 941 million cards to 4.7 billion in 2002. With the increasing number of smart cards being used, the questions about smart-card security are being answered by the IDTEK/IRE ID Technology (tm) systems. IDTEK's system will also work with older magstripe equipment. infoseek.com steve
