Gemplus Supplies Additional 1 Million Smart IDs for the US Department of Defense

Luxembourg and Rsa Conference 2006 (ots/PRNewswire)

- New Order Adds to the Millions of Gemplus Smart IDs in the Hands
of US Government Workers
Gemplus International S.A. (Euronext: LU0121706294 - GEM and
NASDAQ: GEMP), a world leading provider of smart card solutions
announces an order to supply an additional 1 million smart cards for
the Department of Defense (DoD) Common Access Card program (CAC). The
order from BearingPoint for the DoD's CAC program, confirms Gemplus
as a leading smart card supplier in the US Federal space.
The US Federal government has led the way in strong authentication
for its employees, and the DoD's CAC program is its biggest rollout
to date. The CAC solution provides secure access to DoD facilities
and IT network resources. Launched in 2000, the CAC program has to
date issued over 4 million smart badges.
"Gemplus's core strength is security and we feel privileged to
list the Department of Defense among the users of our products",
stated Ernie Berger, President Americas Gemplus. "This recent
contract shows that our investment in secure identity management
solutions combined with strong local manufacturing was the right
strategy. It also reinforces our commitment to support the US Federal
government's HSPD 12 directive and related FIPS 201 standard for
federal employee identity verification".
The smart cards supplied in the contract are FIPS 140-2 validated
- a security pre-requisite for the CAC program.
