AI Contract Overview

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Information Technology Laboratory is seeking collaboration with industry partners to advance the development of interoperable smart card systems within the framework of the Government Smart Card (GSC) program. Recognizing that smart cards offer critical security services such as identification and authentication but face adoption challenges due to a lack of interoperability standards and architectural models, NIST aims to create consistent, standardized object-oriented interoperability models and toolkits for smart card integrators. This initiative is intended to foster broader adoption and compatibility of smart card technology across federal agencies and industry. Interested parties are invited to engage with NIST by contacting the designated principal scientist, Jim Dray, via email before the specified deadline. The contract opportunity, titled "A -- Object Oriented Smart Card," was posted on July 16, 2002, under the Department of Commerce, offering a chance for collaborative development within this important security and technology framework. The effort centers in Gaithersburg, Maryland, reflecting NIST's commitment to spearheading smart card interoperability at a national level.

Full Description

The National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST), Information Technology Laboratory, Division 893, 100 Bureau Drive MS 8930, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-8930 Description: Smart cards provide a number of security services, including identification and authentication of the card holder. However, a lack of interoperability standards and systems oriented architectural models has hampered adoption of smart card technology within the United States. The National Institute of Standards and Technology has been working with industry and other federal agencies under the auspices of the Government Smart Card(GSC) program to establish an interoperability framework for smart card based systems. As part of the effort to promote smart card interoperability, NIST wishes to initiate collaborations with industry to explore and develop object oriented smart card interoperability models within the context of the GSC interoperability framework. The goal of this collaboration is to produce consistent, standardized models and toolkits for GSC smart card integrators. Interested parties should send an email message to contact@example.gov with the subject line "Smart Card Collaboration" on or before October 1, 2002.
