Smart Cards
Objectives
Smart cards can be utilised in a very broad range of IST application areas and have therefore been an ideal topic for an IST cross-programme action. The objectives of the projects in this theme are to accelerate, consolidate and harmonise the usage of smart cards (in all shapes & forms, including tags) across Europe in all application areas of the information society where security, data privacy and consumer protection are of critical importance. Indeed, although the wide use of smart cards in Europe is already strong, further efforts are needed to overcome market fragmentation between countries and sectors. The work is driven by the Smart Card Charter referenced in the eEurope 2002 Action Plan. In particular the focus is on cross sector applications of smart card based infrastructure (cards, terminals and back end systems). The aim is to facilitate secure individual access to electronic services and to build trust and confidence while protecting privacy and confidentiality.
