GSA will also sponsor a Smart Card pilot program with its SmartPay vendor, Citibank. In May 1999, GSA and Citibank will issue smart cards that combine the following electronic commerce functions: payment, travel, government ID, local and remote authentication, phone security, electronic ticketing, and physical and logical access control. In addition to integrated circuit chip technology, the card will also include biometrics identification profiles.The smart card was developed in a collaborative effort between CII-Honeywell-Bull and Motorola in March 1979. The first application was as a single function prepaid telephone card. Since then, a wide range of applications is evolving, including banking, retail payment, electronic purse, health, entertainment, travel, transit, college campus purchases, and citycards.
