G&D's Smart Cards Get Even Smarter Thanks to Improved Project Management | 2008-04-03 | CA (Computer Associates) |
| Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) is a leading supplier of smart card and banknote solutions. For G&D to meet its customer's needs, the company must ensure its cards are absolutely secure and reliable, while still making use of the cutting-edge technology that customers demand. After evaluating more than 30 products over an eight-month period, the only solution that fully met G&D's requirements was one from CA. Its Project & Portfolio Management solution offered a much broader feature set and more powerful functionality than any of the other tools they looked at.

Smart Card Technology: The Right Choice for REAL ID | 2008-01-15 | Smart Card Alliance |
| The privacy of a citizen's personal information endures only as long as security protections are in place to prevent access to, or tampering with, that information. Unlike other identification technologies, smart cards can implement a personal firewall for an individual's data, releasing only the information required and only when it is required. The card's unique ability to verify the authority of the reader and the card's strong security at both the card and data level make the smart card an excellent guardian of a cardholder's personal information. Unlike other forms of identification (such as a printed driver's license), a smart card does not reveal all of an individual's personal information when it is presented.

Banco Itau Minimizes Fraud Exposure With Integrated Cryptography on IBM System z | 2007-12-17 | IBM |
| Established in 1945 in Brazil, Banco Itau is a privately owned bank with operations across North and South America and in Europe. In Brazil, the bank has around 3,000 branches and more than 42,000 employees managing 15 million checking accounts and 9 million savings accounts. The challenge was to improve the performance and scalability of its authorization processes to support the move to EMV (Europay, Mastercard and VISA) standard. Following successful tests, Banco Itau selected the IBM Crypto Express2 card for the IBM System z platform that was fully integrated solution for smart-card authorization; fast and highly secure processing; improved reliability and performance; highly scalable solution supports the rapid rollout of chip-and-pin technology, which will help to improve security for Banco Itau's customers.

A quick look at print authentication | 2007-09-01 | Hewlett-Packard (HP) |
| When security threats try to worm their way into your enterprise through network printers, you can use print authentication to make it tough for them to succeed. As this new HP white paper explains, print authentication is a cost-effective, relatively non-disruptive means of verifying that the people who want access to network printers are who they say they are -- and that they have the access privileges they claim they do. Read it to learn about the three types of print authentication and how you can use authentication to control access to functionality, sensitive information, and data.

Improving Consumers' Contactless Payment Experience | 2007-07-01 | Texas Instruments |
| Contactless cards are a key technology for improving the consumer experience for retail transactions. Both computational speed and RF sensitivity are factored into the consumer's perceived transaction time. So a balance between speed and energy efficiency (a.k.a. sensitivity) is required in the chip design. The sensitivity of the contactless card is a more important metric than the computational speed, but the implementation of both translates into a better, overall user experience. Implementing a highly sensitive solution equates to a larger read zone and provides more time for the contactless card and the reader to complete a transaction while the card is in motion. The larger read zone means there is less hunting for the sweet spot on the reader.

Digital Identities and the Promise of the Technology Trio: PKI, Smart Cards, and Biometrics | 2007-05-30 | Science Publications |
| This paper looks at one of the evolving crimes of the digital age; identity theft. It argues and explains that if three key technologies were implemented together namely biometrics, smart cards, and PKI, then they can deliver a robust and trusted identification and authentication infrastructure. The paper concludes that such infrastructure may provide the foundation for e-government and ecommerce initiatives as it addresses the need for strong user authentication of virtual identities.

An Application Framework for Efficient, Reliable and Secure Access to Memory Spot | 2007-04-18 | Hewlett-Packard (HP) |
| Memory Spot is a microchip developed by HP Labs at Bristol. Compared to Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) devices, Smart Cards and other Near-Field Communication (NFC) devices, this chip provides much larger storage capacity, faster data transfer rate, and smaller physical dimensions. The chip is normally passive and is energized by an external reader/writer over the Radio Frequency (RF) channel. The same RF channel enables data communication between the reader/writer and the powered chip. Memory spot potentially opens up a wide range of new consumer-oriented and enterprise service-oriented applications. This paper presents an application framework to help develop these memory spot related applications, by providing common functionalities across different applications, such as data synchronization, application management and application-device interaction.
