Description: Every year the Smart Card Alliance brings together the entire industry to learn about the recent advances that have taken place and the new trends and technology developments that lie ahead. 2007 has been a dynamic year for the industry, beginning with a landmark address by Microsoft’s Bill Gates on the important role that secure digital certificates will play in the effort to migrate security from the computer infrastructure to the end user. We’ve seen an expanding interest in smart card technology for transactions of all types, including contactless credit/debit, two-factor authentication, government-issued ID, transit fare payment, and a growing movement towards convergence among identification, access, and payment systems around a common card or device, such as mobile phones. Following this year’s conference theme, “Smart Cards: The Future of Digital Transactions,” we’ll feature an expanded look at these payments and identity applications, and we will feature speakers with first hand knowledge about the latest smart card implementations on a range of tracks devoted to Payments, Mobile/NFC, Identity, Security, Government, Healthcare, and Transportation.
