3.0 out of 5 stars
Not a bad book (considering a lack of competition <g>),
By A Customer
This review is from: Smart Card Handbook (Paperback)
A fairly extensive overview of the smart card technology, covering issues ranging from its history to the hardware, communication protocols, programming, and business uses. Another plus is that this book is the only one that can be found in stores. The book contains a tear-off post card with an offer of free Smart Card emulation software for PC/Windows3.1/95 (Not NT). On the negative side: it is a translation from German and a rather poor one. If you can read German, go for the original <g>. Also, it is heavily "European", there isn't much about what happens in the US. The price is a bit on the high side, too (a typical store price, including taxes, is about $100, but that's nothing new for Wiley.) The tear-off card, for some reason must be mailed to England (like there isn't a Wiley office somewhere in the US.) Besides, I thought for $100 a disk with the smart card emulator program could have been included.

This books is worth its price ... technically sound,
By Anshuman Sinha (Boca Raton, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Smart Card Handbook (Hardcover)
Technically sound contents, deep review and knowledge, no beating around the bush. A must reference for engineers who work with smartcards, its application and develop related systems. This book covers broad range of topics within smartcard technology. It is worth the price.

SmartCard Bible,
By Dmitry Vostokov (Monkstown, Co. Dublin Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Smart Card Handbook, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
This is really a bible. It includes everthing you need to know about smart cards. If you can read German order the new edition of "Handbuch der Chipkarten" that was published in September 2002. However if you are new to that field or starting to develop or maintain desktop applications that use smartcards and you need quick introduction to smartcards' inner details you should buy "SmartCards, the Developer's Toolkit, 2nd edition".
