Army orders smart card readers

BY George I. Seffers, FCW, 9/24/01

The Army has selected SchlumbergerSema for the largest deployment of
smart card readers in the United States, the company announced Sept. 
20. 

Logicon Inc.  has acquired nearly 60,000 of SchlumbergerSema's Reflex
smart card readers for fielding to the Army under the Defense
Department's Common Access Card program.  The new order is in addition
to SchlumbergerSema's previous announcement that Electronic Data Systems
Corp.  bought 600,000 of its Java-based Cyberflex Access smart cards for
the overall DOD Common Access Card program. 

"The U.S.  Army's Secure Electronic Transactions -- Devices Program
Office chose the Reflex smart card readers after an internal evaluation
and testing process," John Gist, Logicon's program manager for the
General Services Administration Smart Access Common Identification Card
contract, said in a written announcement.  "Readers are an integral part
of smart card deployments to secure the link between users and
networks." The order marks the first time the GSA contract has been used
by one of the armed services to support its smart card requirements, the
SchlumbergerSema announcement noted. 

The Army will use readers that connect with desktop and portable
computers to authenticate smart cards used for secure network access. 

The Common Access Card program uses secure, multiple-application smart
cards for physical identification, building access and network access. 
The multitiered program is being rolled out throughout DOD over the next
few years.
