Smart Card Talk A quar terly newsletter for members and friends of the Smar t Card Alliance

June 2014

The Subject of Mobile Security: When is something secure Surrounded by mobile industry members and interested guests who attended our 3rd Annual NFC Solutions Summit in Austin, TX last week, I was amazed by the level of discourse that was happening around the venue – in the conference sessions, the exhibit halls, the workshops, and the NFC start-up developers pavilion – about security. I write more about this interesting development in my letter for this quarter’s Smart Card Talk newsletter. We also have an update on Alliance Councils, a Member Profile spotlight on Gemalto, and a special article from and by the PCI Security Standards Council on EMV and PCI. There’s a lot going on, and I invite you to share your thoughts with me about anything you read. Thank you for your interest and support of the Smart Card Alliance. Sincerely, Randy Vanderhoof Executive Director, Smart Card Alliance
