The Evolution of Smart Card Technology

Getting Smarter in the Future

Even when you realize that the smart card is a relatively mature solution in card production, one cannot deny that the card is still in its infancy when referring to the integration into Information Systems.

Now imagine all those components again, put together in a single little card with a pretty, gold-colored computer chip.  Only the following question remains: 

What should happen if I lose that very card, which is silently organizing my whole existence, as I go about my daily routine?

We may then begin to delve into the abyss of how we can ensure that our own private computer chip cannot get lost.  And that might be a headache of a completely different kind.
