In the United States, government has been the main driver behind the increased adoption of smartcard technology to enhance security and identity management. In the 1990’s, the Department of Defense was the first to implement the technology in a widespread manner, and since then every civilian and military DoD employee, as well as all DoD contractors, have been issued a “CAC” (Common Access Card).
In 2004, President Bush signed HSPD12, which mandated secure ID cards for all federal government employees. This led to the “PIV” (Personal Identity and Verification) initiative, and today nearly every federal employee has a secure, multi-function smart ID card. The federal government has also implemented other large-scale smart card programs, such as the TWIC (Transport Worker Identity Card) card for all port and airport personnel, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as Food Stamps.
At the State and Local level, hundreds of parallel initiatives have taken place over the past 15 years, too numerous to mention.
As a result, private industry can benefit from a wide range of hardware, software, and service available off-the-shelf to support the implementation of a secure identification program based on smart card technology. The wide range services which can be protected by smart-card access include: physical access controls (doors); network access; shared printers; vending machines; meal services; etc. A large number of systems integrators are available with expertise to help in implementing the exact levels of security your company requires.

All cards are printed on extremely durable PVC plastic, using High-Definition thermal-retransfer technology.
ID cards are just as important as badges when verifying a police officer’s identity. While old badges are somewhat easy to come by, a valid police ID card is not. So, it is imperative that all agencies dealing with public safety implement a secure, standardized ID card program.
We recommend that you make the security features on your police IDs readily available to the public. There should be no question of an ID card’s validity when sworn personnel present them to civilians.
We take great pride in producing identification which is not easily forged. Your cards will be the same size as a driver’s license and made of extremely durable PVC plastic. We’ll be happy to send you a sample ID card so that you may see for yourself.
