SMART DATA (Current)

Contact: GSA/Office of Electronic Government, FPKI Webmaster.

As of February 2, 2004 the Survey of Federal Smart Card Projects called SmartData has been updated to reflect the inputs from the Federal Smart Card Project Managers, and their information technology service providers. In order to make the survey more useful, it has been divided between Current and Archived Smart Card Projects. The Current Projects are those which are on-going either in Planning, or as Pilot or Operational Projects. Archived Smart Card Projects are those projects that have been completed, but are of interest historically. In addition, there are several projects currently in process of being surveyed, which will be added to this website as the survey is completed.

A great deal of effort has been placed into making sure this information is correct, but GSA and the Federal Smart Card Project Managers are dedicated to making and keeping this information accurate. If you know of projects that are not represented here, or information that is incorrect, please contact the FPKI Webmaster.

As part of the GSA smart card initiatives, the Office of Governmentwide Policy (OGP) attempts to identify various smart card projects and applications pursued by the Federal agencies to make the Government function more efficiently. This database is the result of the GSA Office of Government Policy 's initial survey of the Federal agencies originally conducted in July 1998, updated most recently in January 2004. The purpose of this database is for information sharing, identifying areas of interest, and sharing technology to promote the advancement of smart card projects among Federal agencies. Agency representatives should note that the smart card project and application in this database will be made available to individual project or application personnel for online updating.

We hope you will find this information useful and easy to use. It has been designed to give you quick access to an entire project overview at a glance. We are in the process of making sure that the SmartData portion of the website is 508 compliant. Please contact the FPKI Webmaster if you have any accessibility issues in the meantime. Thank you.

The following definitions are used to distinguish smart card project from smart card application.

A smart card project is defined as a development/implementation effort, within a Government agency.
A smart card application is defined as a subset of a smart card project addressed to one area of concern.

The purpose of the DHS program is to provide a common set of credentials for both physical and logical authentication. The DHS program is a super-set of the TWIC (Transportation Workers Identification Card). The DHS credential will be issued only to DHS employees and affiliates and will be interoperable with the DoD CAC (Common Access Card) as well as TWIC. The cards will contain certain demographic data as well as 3 PKI certificates. A fingerprint biometric supplemented with a PIN will be used to authenticate the user to the card. Access control will remain decentralized, but authentication will be centralized. This arrangement provides the capacity for a single user logon to all DHS automated resources. The Physical Security office will manage the physical cards as well as set physical access control policies for specific sites. The CIO office will manage the registration software and digital certificates. DHS has begun testing and will begin the issuance of 40,000 cards in December of 2004.

The prototype concept of TWIC is designed to test the business processes and technical infrastructure related to providing an identification tool to be used in securing the protected areas of the nation’s transportation infrastructure. The full prototype will begin issuance in the summer of 2004. The ultimate objective of the TWIC programs is to establish a system-wide common credential, used across all modes of transportation, for all personnel requiring unescorted physical and/or logical access to secure areas of the transportation system. The full program plans to begin issuance of approximately 6 million cards in FY06. The prototype concept phase of the program will take place in transportation hubs on the east, west, and southern coasts. The precise data model of the credential has not been determined. But during the enrollment process, biometrics will be used to verify that a transportation worker has not been previously denied a credential.

Smart cards are a vital component of a broader enterprise effort to deliver secure access to physical and IT assets. The Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure Project (AAIP) is a Departmental initiative intended to define the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Enterprise Architecture (EA) requirements and alternatives for authentication, authorization, accountability, and non-repudiation. AAIP provides an integrated approach to the broad, heterogeneous VA network, forwards the concept embodied in the One-VA strategic goal, and in doing so, intends to reduce the cost of ownership for authentication and authorization services. Further, the initiative offers improved security of critical VA assets and extends broad protection for privacy and identity information maintained by VA across disparate systems. AAIP has three core components identified within the current Concept of Operations (CONOPS), outlined below. AAIP must take into consideration the integration of these components into the current VA enterprise, as well as, ensure support of the future state of the enterprise. It must also take into account the resources, business processes, cultural changes, and use case scenarios that will impact on overall success. -Smart Card Issuance provides for an official government identification card, using a smart card form factor that also supports the storage of cryptographic credentials used for logical access to computer systems, and physical access to building access control systems. -PKI Infrastructure provides for an enterprise-wide, technology agnostic solution that incorporates strong authentication. The solution must be open standards based, and comply with federal guidance and mandates. -Identity and Access Management A core identity and access management solution capable of supporting enterprise identity management, user provisioning access control decisions, and the requisite integration with directory service. This solution must be open standards based, supporting modular best of breed snap-in components. Recently, VA completed testing in 8 prototype technology area (VPN, Network, Thin Client, Wireless, Wed Database, Legacy, and Physical Access), successfully demonstrating injection into the VA’s environment to identify what works and what could work with modification. VA has recognized the utility of smart cards and is committed to their use where applicable. VA has developed comprehensive business case analysis (BCA) and return on investment (ROI) results that demonstrate VA will achieve a positive ROI for the project. Examples include reduction of pharmacy transactions through automated workflow with digital signatures, and the use of Thin Client technologies with smart cards can improve clinician productivity by up to 10% per day, and thereby increase the number of patients a clinician can interact with during a given day. These and other examples create a compelling case for VA.

In May of 1998 the Air Force Academy issued to all cadets the first multiple application card to carry independently loaded applications. The cards allow cadets to use the electronic purse to pay for laundry, snack purchases in the laundry areas, and copiers in the library. Additional point of sale locations are being added. Disposable cards in $10 and $20 values can be purchased by USAFA faculty, employees, and family members. The following additional applications have been planned and will be added to the card: student visibility, manifesting, physical access, network access, medical and dental, inventory control, physical and aerobic fitness test results, training qualification, test results and food services. The system was designed to allow the Air Force Academy to continue to add these non-financial applications as well as to be independent yet interoperable with the U.S. Department of Defense Smart Card program.

SATS (Standard Asset Tracking System) began as a paperless initiative to track assets into and out of Air Force Base Supply using bar code and radio frequency technology. Before SATS, a base only used the Standard Base Supply System (SBSS). SBSS uses paper documents and signatures, which creates endless handling and filing of the documents and makes it difficult to track assets. SATS now uses a portable, hand-held terminal (HHT) with a bar-code scanner and a smart card reader to process the customer receipt of assets instead of the previous method of using paper documents and signatures. All customers have their own smart card, much like an ATM card, and a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to confirm the use of the information on the smart card and their acceptance of the receipt of the asset. When Supply delivers an asset to a customer, the customer enters their smart card into the HHT smart card reader, the bar code on the asset is scanned, the information on the smart card is read, and the privilege of the customer to receive the asset is verified. The customer then enters their PIN into the HHT, to confirm their acceptance of the asset. The HHT uses radio frequency data collection (RFDC) technology to instantly send the transaction back to SATS. If for some reason the RF is lost, the HHT stores the transaction for later downloading. Besides making assets easier to track, the Proof of Concept test at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina showed SATS reduced the processing time required for the warehouse pull of an asset to the customer delivery of that asset by 81 percent. SATS also cut manpower by 60 percent in the Receiving element and by 75 percent in Document Control. Additionally, SATS reduced the use of paper documents by 96 percent. SATS already has been implemented at 39 Air Force installations worldwide, and is currently being installed at each Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard installations throughout the US. The rest of the active-duty bases are scheduled to follow suit by the end of 2002. The Air Reserve Component also wants to implement SATS and is expected to do so in 2002.

On December 8, 1999 all soldiers and Department of Defense civilians were issued stored value smart cards, called Eagle Cash, at Camp McGovern, Bosnia. As of March 2000, there were approximately 1,250 cardholders. The Eagle Cash system’s main function is to eliminate the use of U.S. currency at the Camp. Users load credits on to the Eagle Cash card from payroll payments, bank account withdrawals and cashed checks. All merchants at the Camp accept the card as payment for goods and services. The card can also be used to purchase foreign currency. Due to the success of the project and the multiple benefits it provides, FMS and the Army have recently deployed similar stored value programs at Camp Dobol, Camp Comanche and Eagle Base in Bosnia and the U.S. base in Taszar, Hungary. Approximately 4,000 for Bosnia, 6,000 for Kosovo and about 700 for Honduras now use smart cards for their financial transactions while deployed in the deployed Army. The program expects to issue approximately 27 thousand cards in FY 2004. There have been approximately 44,350 cards issued to date as of June 30, 2003 and a total of over $59 million loaded onto the cards.

The Common Access Card (CAC) has been designed to allow physical access to secure areas, permit logical access to the DoD's computer networks, and serve as an authentication token for the DoD's public key infrastructure (PKI). Initially the cards contained identification and security information, however, later versions shall include other data, such as inoculations, medical and dental records, and finance allotments. Approximately 7K of the chip's 32K usable data space shall be reserved for the services to program with any application they choose. This card is intended to consolidate card systems (where applicable) to merge identification and access card systems. In November 2000, three Air Force bases and an Air National Guard unit began testing the software used to produce the new identification card. Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, Osan Air Base, Korea, Ramstein Air Base, Germany and the 203rd Red Horse Unit, Virginia were selected to begin the initial phase in of the card. The second phase, beginning in January, added Hulbert Field, Florida. The third phase in February 2001 involved issuing new cards to about one-third of the Air Force target population, with the remaining two-thirds receiving cards by September 2002. Initial CAC issuance is estimated to be complete by December 2003. Organizational focus is moving towards a web-centric environment with the development of applications that support or work in conjunction with the CAC.

The U.S. Marine Corps recruit smart card project became operational at Parris Island on March 6, 2000. Marine personnel issue cards to recruits when they arrive at Charleston Airport. Phase I of the project, allows the personal information stored on the cards issued to create the manifest for the trip to Parris Island. At Parris Island, the card is also used to populate forms, document recruit training, assist with issuing weapons at the armory and includes an electronic purse. Phase 2 of the project was rolled out on March 19, 2001. This phase has added additional card applications including add/drop, visibility and separation capabilities for drill instructors. In 2001 San Diego joined the same process with the SVC. Together both sites issue approximately 50,000 a year. There have been approximately 105,000 cards issued to date as of June 30, 2003.

The U.S. Department of State (DOS) is in the process of implementing an automated access control system using a Smart ID Card for its employees and visitors in an effort to provide the safest and most secure environment during a time of heightened awareness against domestic terrorist threats. Implementation of a Smart ID Card will partially aid DOS in accomplishing this goal. The access control project will include the Harry S. Truman Building, the United States Mission to the United Nations, the Blair House (the President's guest house) and approximately 35 facilities located within the United States. These facilities [DOS] process an estimated one-half million visitors annually. A select group of employees have been issued Smart ID Cards to finalize testing of the new access control system. In April 2002, 20,000 employees working in the National Capital Region will be issued Smart ID Cards. DOS employees located outside the U.S.[overseas] will be issued a Smart ID Card as they rotate back into the U.S. Migration of the DOS Smart ID Cards at all overseas U.S. Embassies is anticipated in the future. The DOS Smart ID Card will initially be used for physical and logical access and will also serve as the hardware token for DOS public key infrastructure (PKI) certificates. It is also anticipated that the DOS Smart ID Card may be used for many other applications in the future.

The first Army/Air Force pilot began at Fort Leonard Wood in May 1997 using a Visa Cash card. Fort Knox was added June 1997 utilizing a PIN and a SmartCity card. Fort Sill began their pilot March 1998 using a Biometric SmartCity card. Lackland was added June 1998 as a Visa Cash pilot. In 1999, Fort Benning and Fort Jackson began using the Visa Cash card. Since the pilots began, the programs were consolidated into the best practices and in 2002 all six became the EZpay program using a SmartCity card without PIN or Biometrics. Recruits are issued a smart card as they arrive that confirms their arrival, completes their registration and disburses $250 ($300 for female) as an initial pay advance. The stored value can be used to pay for goods and services at the barber, post exchange, dry cleaners, phone center, on-post banks and credit unions and to make donations to the post chaplain. The programs expect to issue approximately 165,000 cards per year to the recruits. There have been approximately 800,000 cards issued to date as of June 30, 2003. The locations participating in the Ezpay Card program are Lackland Air Force Base (Texas); Fort Knox (Kentucky); Fort Leonard Wood (Missouri); Fort Sill (Oklahoma); Fort Benning (Georgia); and Fort Jackson (South Carolina)

The NavyCash/MarineCash application went live with its first implementation in April 2001. NavyCash/MarineCash has since been implemented on a total of 8 prototype ships. NavyCash/MarineCash is a financial management application that employs chip technology to replace bills and coins on board Navy ships. NavyCash/MarineCash significantly improves quality of life on board ship. When at sea, Navy Cash/Marine Cash provides off-line access to the users’ bank and credit union accounts using the shipboard communications. When in port anywhere in the world, Navy Cash/Marine Cash provides on-line access to a Navy Cash/Marine Cash account at ATMs worldwide and merchant retailers using the existing global banking infrastructure. The Navy Cash/Marine Cash program evolved from the Navy’s thirteen-year-old Automated Teller Machines-at-Sea (ATM-at-Sea) program. The program expects to add additional ships in FY 2004 and issue approximately 10,000 cards totaling over $14 million. There have been approximately 20,000 cards issued with over $19 million to date as of June 30, 2003.

On September 6, 2001, the US Patent and Trade Office (USPTO), in the Arlington, VA area purchased smart cards, readers and applications utilizing PKI to establish a secure remote entry system for its Patent Work at Home (PWAH) program employees. The PTONet Remote Access System currently utilized by the PWAH program utilizes a two-factor authentication process. In an effort to increase existing system security, the migration to a Smartcard will bolster the PTONet PKI system while providing securely stored digital certificates for strong authentication, digital signatures, and local encryption and ensure interoperability. The new smart card will be a multi-application card with the combined functions of Metro subsidy and property pass functionality while maintaining GSA's interoperability standards. The smart chip card provides each cardholder logical remote access to their facilities. The card is used in conjunction with a chip card reader as a means of controlling access to the USPTO workstation and data networks. The card controls access to local and remote workstations as well as access to the USPTO network. Cardholders insert their card into the card reader and provide a password to gain workstation and network access.

DART First State announced that on Monday, May 21, 2001 it will unveil its new, leading-edge, and simple to use "DARTCard." The DARTCard is a stored-value fare card that can be used on any DART First State fixed route bus service anywhere in the State, including the Wilmington - Dover Intercounty Route 301, and seasonal resort services. Seven (7) multi-valued DARTCards will replace the eighteen (18) different multi-ride fare cards and passes presently used by riders. The DARCard can be used to purchase a cost saving daily pass on the bus, or to pay on a per ride basis. A rider's best value with the DARTCard is a daily pass when transferring and/or taking 3 or more bus trips during the day. The new color-coded DARTCards will be available in seven different amounts offering riders several options and the freedom to choose the DARTCard that works best for their traveling budget and needs. The stored-value DARTCards can be used just like cash. When the rider inserts the DARTCard into the bus's fare box, the appropriate fare for that service will be deducted from the card each time it is used. Each time the DARTCard is used, the value remaining on the card will be printed on the back of the DARTCard so that the rider can better manage their traveling budget. The card can be used as long as there is sufficient value left on the card. When the value on a rider's DARTCard is less than the fare, the rider can use its remaining value and pay the difference required by the fare with either another DARTCard or with cash. Riders are encouraged to pay for all fares with a DARTCard minimizing carrying and handling cash. Cash fares are exact change using coinage and only one dollar bills. DARTCards will be available for purchase from DART First State Transportation Stores, statewide fare card outlets, and by mail or phone on May 21, 2001. For more information, call 1-800-652-DART, or visit our web site at www.DartFirstState.com.

Quite simply, it's a permanent, rechargeable farecard. It's plastic -- like a credit card -- and is embedded with a special computer chip that keeps track of the value of the card. It can be used to pay fares on all CTA buses, at all CTA train stations and on PACE (suburban) buses. Instead of inserting a farecard into the farebox or turnstile, you simply touch your Smartcard to the Smartcard Touchpad -- located on the front of the bus farebox and rail turnstile -- and go. Your fare or transfer will automatically be deducted.

The New England PARTNERS Project is a joint initiative of the States of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service to develop and implement a hybrid card–based (i.e., magstripe and smart card chip) delivery system to meet the service and benefit needs of participants from a variety of public health and human service programs. The New England PARTNERS Project will conduct pilot programs in each of the six contiguous states, linking multiple programs via a common participant card—in effect testing the efficacy of public health and human services delivery via electronic card technology. Building on the Food Stamp Program’s electronic benefit transfer (EBT) experience, the system will expand the EBT concept and use an electronic service delivery (ESD) model. In addition to the financial benefits, ESD supports multiple functions in the delivery of health-related services including eligibility determination, health assessment, case management, and referrals. The PARTNERS multi-state, multi-function information and services delivery system will improve the quality and convenience of government payment processes, increasing access and streamlining such processes for citizens, participants, patients, and professionals alike. From health care providers to retail grocers, PARTNERS will reduce paperwork and improve the efficiency of reporting and reimbursement systems. PARTNERS will achieve its objective by using new technologies to bridge and build upon a number of government and private systems, including program data processing, retail point-of-sale, provider point-of-interaction, health care providers and fiscal agent and financial reporting. Using hybrid participant card (magnetic stripe and integrated chip), intelligent point-of-service terminals, online and offline technologies, web-based communication, and other telecommunications methods, PARTNERS will establish a “virtual network” of recipients, providers, vendors, and administrators across the six-state region. Pilots will be undertaken in each of the six States, with each testing a different combination of programs and services. All efforts are organized under a Memorandum of Understanding executed by the six State health agency commissioners. Administrative activities are being managed by New Hampshire. Funding has been provided by the US Department of Agriculture, Food & Nutrition Service, the US Department of Health & Human Services, Centers for Disease Control, an private sector food industry supporters. In September 2000, PARTNERS initiated its implementation phases by competitively procuring a Project Management and Quality Assurance (PMQA) contractor. The PMQA contract was awarded to Burger, Carroll & Associates (BCA). PARTNERS has initiated a competitive procurement to obtain a system implementation contractor (IC) and an evaluation contractor (EC). The IC will assist PARTNERS in establishing pilot programs in each of the six states by 2003; bids are due February 15, 2002. The EC will conduct a formal evaluation of those pilots to advise the states as to whether the PARTNERS system should be implemented regionwide.

IRMD recently decided to begin planning an initiative to provide smart cards to a few hundred employees to use as a building pass (physical access), as well as for logical access. No project manager has been assigned and technology decisions have not been finalized. Other decisions have not yet been made, but the Secret Service (working through the Treasury) will be going through the GSA.

The National Parks Service is considering a smart card application that would include qualification and certification information (this would replace the "Red Card" they currently use). 250,000 firefighters, pilots and other personnel that provide support during forest fire operations would receive the card.
