- “The GSA Project is the result of an excellent and in-depth amount of work put
together by a group of smart card experts and many highly qualified and talented
- individuals. For example, when constructing a high-story building, the foundation
is one of the most critical parts of the project. Similarly the GSA handbook is critically important to base and build up any number of different and interoperable applications for the US Administration. The benefits of this comprehensive work will result in an unparalleled level of security for the end user.“
- Alex Giakoumis, Atmel Corporation
- "The new GSA Government Smart Card Handbook will be extremely valuable for
agencies starting their smart ID card programs. This Handbook provides an excellent jumpstart for any newcomer to the field of deploying a smart ID card
- program. The updated document includes extensive information, gathered from the
experts in Government & Industry on both smart cards and on other related technologies, such as biometrics and PKI, which agencies will need to understand as they plan their implementation."
- Neville Pattinson, Axalto
- “Government agencies implementing smart ID card programs must consider
technology and business issues as they begin their deployments. The new Government Smart Card Handbook not only outlines key technologies, but also provides guidance on lessons learned from other implementations and on management and organizational issues that will need to be tackled. The Handbook is an excellent starting point for agencies newly considering smart ID cards.”
