Company on the Move: Smart Card Alliance, Rebranding as Secure Technology Alliance
The Smart Card Alliance, an industry group tasked with driving adoption of smart card technology as the global standard for payment, identity, access and mobile application security, is expanding its charter to include a broader range of security and privacy-enhancing technologies.
