New Resources

The video recording of the full-day preconference workshop delivered at the Smart Card Alliance 13th Annual Government Conference, Personal Identity Verification (PIV) in Enterprise Physical Access Control Systems (EPACS),is now posted for LEAP and CSCIP member access. The workshop provides a comprehensive understanding of EPACS architectures, the use of high assurance credentials with EPACS and the impact that this move has on PACS implementation. The workshop has in-depth sessions on EPACS architecture, FICAM-enabled authentication mechanisms, EPACS implementation and PIV credential use, GSA EPACS procurement requirements and the trust ecosystem for Federal credentials.

Presentations from Smart Card Alliance conferences in 2014 have been cataloged and posted for LEAP and CSCIP member access. The presentations cover a wealth of topics including EMV, mobile/NFC, biometrics, cybersecurity, identity and access control applications, healthcare and smart card and related technology standards.

The Smart Card Alliance Payments Council published a new white paper, Technologies for Payment Fraud Prevention: EMV, Encryption and Tokenization, in November 2014. The white paper provides an educational resource on the role of EMV, encryption and tokenization for securing the payments infrastructure and preventing payment fraud.
