Smart cards
We mainly use Java Card
Technology from Sun Microsystems to create applications that can be
embedded in a SC. There are several unique benefits of the Java Card
Technology, such as described on Sun web site:

A smart card is identical in size to a typical credit card and is tamper resistant. The smart card stores and processes information through the electronic circuits embedded in silicon in the plastic substrate of the card. There are two basic types of smart cards: memory and intelligent. A memory card stores data locally, but does not contain a CPU for performing computations on that data. An intelligent (smart) card includes a microprocessor and can perform calculations on locally-stored data. The Java Card technology is independent of the type of supporting hardware. The Java Card platform can run on contact and contact-less devices.
Smart Card Solutions and Installation.
There are various companies offering ready to use solutions. We can help you create, choice, customize, install and maintain a SC based system. You don't need to be a large company to use SC systems. There are some scalable packages with the same reliability.
We suggest you take a tour at http://www.smartcards.net/ to see by yourself the numerous applications of SC in everyday life.
