Proven irrelevant

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 3, 2002

Verified Purchase

Well, now it's 2002, and the the revolution has definitely not been televised. We've heard now from authors like these guys for about, oh, 10 years or so that smart cards are the next revolution. That it's just a matter of time before mag stripe cards are swept aside in this tidal wave of new technology.
Friends, it just ain't gonna happen here in the States. Despite massive attempts by GemPlus and other 'leaders' described in this book, the entire thing has been just one more marketing-driven attempt to force unneeded technology on the masses. The dog didn't hunt, and these 'visionaries' are now unwinding all their efforts here, sending thousands of programmers out on to the streets.
This thinly veiled advertisement, with very poor design and little original content, has suffered the ultimate indignity: history has rendered it all but irrelevant.

Superficial not Smart

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 8, 2000

After reading this book I wasn't any smarter about smart cards. The charts and the introduction made me buy the book. But actually the book is very superficial. There is no real structure or framework that organizes the content. OK, there are chapters, but often it isn't at all clear why certain information is presented in a certain chapter. Also, it is not really clear how the different chapters are distinguished. The title of a chapter usually doesn't help you. Several pieces of information are presented over and over again in different chapters. Most of the information presented is common sense or well known software engineering principles. The information specific to smart cards is limited and not very detailed. Sometimes one could get the feeling that even the authors didn't really know more than the superficial information they present. A coworker of mine uses the term "consultant speak" for that kind of style. The charts and graphic are almost exclusively from other sources and not genuine to the book. They are usually only remotely related to what is discussed in the text and the authors don't bother explaining any of them. The case studies are not what you would normally expect from a case studies. They briefly mention a particular smart card project but don't really go into any details about technology or why certain design decisions were made. Most of the information given in the case study chapters is applicable to any kind of IT project. The check lists are pure common sense and sometimes unintentionally humorous. To sum it up: The book is easy to read but if you are serious about learning about smart cards, it doesn't help you at all. The claim to guide you through the whole process of a smart card project is a gross exaggeration. If you don't already know most of what you need to know from other sources, relying on this book alone will most likely make your project fail. The smart card specific information in the book could have easily been compressed into a nice 10 page white paper.
