The Independent Smartcard Developer Association is run by
Mark Briceno, marc_briceno@YAHOO.COM, www.scard.org,
who bears a striking resemblence to a well-known Cypherpunk :-)
At least at the time it was founded, it was the only group
providing smartcard development support that wasn't
part of or strongly tied to a specific smartcard manufacturer.
Thanks!
