"The U.S. defense department has ordered chip-based ID cards for 4.3
million military
personnel over the next 18 months to tighten security on access to
buildings, including the
Pentagon (news - web sites), and to computer networks, including
access to encrypted
e-mail and online transactions."

``This is extremely important, not only to us, but to the whole smart
card industry. It's the
biggest Java-based smart card order yet,'' ActivCard Senior Vice
President Tom Arthur told
Reuters at annual chip card congress Cartes 2001.'
