Is there any future for smartcards?

[Scott Guthery]

1) GSM/3G handsets are networked card readers that are pretty
successful.  They are I'd wager about as secure as an ATM or a POS,
particularly with respect to social attacks.

2) ISO is currently writing a standard for a secure home card reader.
The starting point is FINREAD. See JTC1/SC17/SG4/TF10.

Cheers, Scott
