Description
IC Card World 2007, is the only smart card exhibition in Japan. Smart cards, which have gained recognition in Japan through consumer applications such
as smart commuter pass and electronic money, are now also finding wider use in the public
sector with residents basic registration cards being distributed. On the other hand,
