"an indispensible companion for anyone planning a multi-application smart card project"
Martin Walton, Southampton Solent University

Product Description
Multi-application smart cards have yet to realise their enormous potential, partly because few people understand the technology, market, and behavioural issues involved. Here, Mike Hendry sets out to fill this knowledge gap with a comprehensive and accessible guide. Following a review of the state-of-the-art in smart card technology, the book describes the business requirements of each smart-card-using sector, and the systems required to support multiple applications. Implementation aspects, including security, are treated in detail and numerous international case studies cover identity, telecoms, banking and transportation applications. Lessons are drawn from these studies to help deliver more successful projects in the future. Invaluable for users and integrators specifying, evaluating and integrating multi-application systems, the book will also be useful to terminal, card and system designers; network, IT and security managers; and software specialists.

Format:Hardcover
Having been involved with an investigation into smart card use for some time, I've been surprised at the scarcity of decent literature on the subject.
Some of the larger volumes are largely full of impenetrable technical information - fine if you want to know about asymmetric cryptographic algorithms, for example - not too helpful when you just need to know about the smart card choices and suitability for your application. Amazing how one major work manages to avoid naming a single smart card manufacturer - not much use in the real world.
Mike Hendry's book is bang up to date and most importantly is accessible - i.e. you will be able to obtain a good overview of the topic without any prior knowledge. I wish I'd had this book when I first started looking at smart cards a couple of years ago.
