"As announced August 30, 2001, Logica is working with the HM Governments Office of the e-Envoy to assist in the development of a policy framework on the future of smart cards in the UK. Logica is providing specialist advisors to facilitate the consultative process with key stakeholders and is assisting in preparing the policy.
Logica has implemented a smart card initiative with the Netherlands Home Office, whereby employment seekers are issued with smart cards. The cards require both PIN numbers and fingerprint matches for identification, and enable the user to register at the employment office, access data files and apply for vacancies online."
