whitepaper Microsoft Certificate Lifecycle Manager Beta 12006-11-01 01:00:29 Microsoft
  Microsoft Certificate Lifecycle Manager (CLM) is a policy and workflow driven system that helps organizations manage the life cycle of digital certificates and smart cards. CLM significantly lowers the costs associated with digital certificates and smart cards by enabling organizations to more efficiently deploy, manage, and maintain a certificate-based infrastructure. It also streamlines the provisioning, configuration, and management of digital certificates and smart cards, while increasing security through strong, multifactor authentication technology. For companies that deploy CLM without smart cards and later decide to add them, CLM can assist with the seamless migration to smart cards without the addition of other systems.

whitepaper The What, Who and Why of Contactless Payments2005-10-18 Smart Card Alliance
  The mass market introduction of contactless technology is an important event for the payments industry. Contactless payments are already providing benefits to consumers and retailers alike, in terms of higher levels of control and convenience for consumers and higher throughput for retailers. And these benefits are just the tip of the iceberg. This paper describes the key changes associated with the use of contactless payments in North America, including the additional value such payments can provide to issuers, acquirers/processors, Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs), retailers, and consumers. This paper is also intended to facilitate communications among the various industry stakeholders by describing current market activities and standardizing definitions key to understanding contactless payments.

whitepaper BlackBerry Smart Card Reader Security: Release 1.02005-10-03 Research In Motion
  The BlackBerry Smart Card Reader for BlackBerry devices with the Secure Multi-Purpose Internet Mail Extension (S/MIME) Support Package is an accessory that, when used in proximity to certain Bluetooth-enabled BlackBerry devices, integrates smart card use with the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution. The BlackBerry Smart Card Reader is designed to communicate wirelessly with Bluetooth version 1.1 (or later)-enabled BlackBerry devices using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256 encryption method on the transport layer, creating a reliable two-factor authenticated environment for granting access to BlackBerry and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) applications without the use of passwords. Through an Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key exchange, the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader is designed to enable wireless digital signing and encryption of wireless email messages.

whitepaper TechNet Webcast: How Microsoft IT Deployed Smart Cards for Securing Remote Access (Level 300)2005-09-13 Microsoft
  Microsoft provides over 70,000 employees worldwide with remote access to its corporate network. Previously, remote access pathways into enterprise networks were considered secure, but often they have little protection from malicious intruders. Microsoft IT responded to this threat by requiring users to employ smart cards, a form of two-factor authentication, for remote access into the network. This webcast discusses how Microsoft utilized and deployed smart cards company-wide, and includes the decision criteria in choosing smart cards over other available technologies.

whitepaper The Secure Access Using Smart Cards Planning Guide2005-06-03 Microsoft
  Administrators are increasingly aware of the dangers that result if they rely only on user names and passwords to provide authentication to network resources. Attackers can guess user names, or use such publicly available information as an e-mail address on a business card to identify a user name. Users rarely show great discretion when they write down passwords, and so provide opportunities for attackers to compromise their credentials. Where there are no restrictions on password complexity, users tend to choose easy to remember passwords such as "Password" or other easily guessed words. Smart cards and their associated PINs are an increasingly popular, reliable, and cost-effective form of two-factor authentication.

whitepaper Contactless Smart Chip Technology: The Business Benefits2005-06-01 Smart Card Alliance
  Contactless smart chip technology, a form of proven smart card technology, is used increasingly in applications that must protect personal information or deliver fast, secure transactions. Leveraging many years of smart card security developments, contactless smart chips have the ability to store, protect, manage, and provide access to secure data and to support the security protocols and algorithms required by an application. In addition, contactless smart chip technology delivers the convenience, durability, and reliability required by applications that must support fast transaction throughput in demanding environments.

whitepaper EAP-TLS Smartcards, From Dream to Reality2005-03-11 Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecommunications
  This paper presents the first implementation of the EAPTLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Layer Security) protocol in smartcards. Tests, performed on two java devices, are discussed and analysed. Results show that TLS processing is slow, because smartcards are not (yet) optimized for that purpose; however the paper clearly demonstrates that TLS processing in smartcards is not today a dream, and can be realized with existing components.
