Reader Reviews
An excellent survey of the Smart Card industry for 2001. And still very relevant. It describes the state of the art in terms of the technical capabilities of the latest cards.

Its cost of production is steadily falling, and may plummet if it is broadly adopted in a mass market. Interested readers should check this out.
