A Theology of Smart Cards
Smart cards are now the most prevalent computers in the world. In particular,
they are the central piece of the wireless revolution. The brain of 600 million
mobile phones, they embed Java to bring personal, secure computing to the world
population in the most egalitarian spread of advanced technology.
A Theology of Smart Cards presents smart cards today, details the next ten years of
technical evolution, and highlights research directions for the 20 years to come. As
smart card wireless agents grow to billions of units, their evolution is compared to today's
most advanced wireless agents, human beings.
