Abstract: | Finally, smart cards are poised for a takeoff in the U.S. Empty out the contents of your wallet, and you are likely to find a jumble of plastic and paper - credit cards, a driver's license , a health-care ID, perhaps a few frequent-flier cards. You'd also find a fistful of dollar bills and loose change. What if you could combine all of those things into one neat credit-card-size package? Instead of fumbling for coins when you make a phone call or hop onto the subway - just insert the card into a special slot. Doctor's appointment? The card contains your medical history and insurance information. |
