There's an article in the January 29 _EE Times_ about a French cryptographic-smart-card startup called Inside Technologies. Tidbits:
I find it in a way amusing that a country which have very weird attitude towards use of crypto (it is not allowed to be used) tries to set standards and provide new technology. If they are that opposing to use of strong encryption how on earth they can be providing it to others and get those others to believe there is no catch in it? Maybe it is the difference in internal and foreign policies but still I suppose a country is supposed to be spying or sorry gather information on other countries not on their own people and companies. Just wondering... Kari Laine
