✦ Synopsis

Given the potential risks involved in the use of smartcards, a smartcard designer will naturally want to build high confidence into the security of the product. One way to achieve this is to aim for certification to the highest ITSEC level: E6. This is not a decision to be taken lightly: E6 is dit~icult and costly.
