IBM Smart Card OS On A 1MB Smart Card

Posted by timothy on from the what-will-your-passport-say-about-you dept.

michaelpapet.com writes "IBM has ported/developed their Javacard smart card operating system for Sharp's 1MB smart card. Read Sharp's announcement here. Interesting features include: AES encryption; elliptical curve encryption; and 1MB of storage. Sharp's smart card package claims to be almost as small as a normal smart card package. In an industry that can considers 64K of memory a luxury, 1MB is staggering. Read Sharp's original 1MB smart card announcement here. Is this a 'Build it and they will come...' kind of solution? How small is an 'almost as small' smart card IC package?"

    Check out the really cool mics they're wearing on CNN. These things sound so much better than hidden mics. It makes it obvious why they only use them for really important events like the election.

    Larry King looks so fucking old that I think he should have been extinct 60 million years ago.

    Wolf Blitzer, on the other hand, is a little sexy (like Paula Zahn).

    Lots of people have dynamic IPs, and "lots of other information" = web browser type? That isn't much of a deterrent. What ISP is going to answer the whines of some whiny slashtroll site?
