e-Smart Technologies CEO to be Featured Speaker at Premier China
Smart Card Conference WASHINGTON, D.C., April 12
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- e-Smart Technologies, Inc., (Pink Sheets:
ESMT); ("e-SMART" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that
Mary Grace, the company's President and CEO, has been invited to be
a featured speaker at the 7th Smart Cards + Smart Label, China
& Users' Conference 2005, which will be held April 19 - 21,
2005, in Beijing, China. The Smart Cards + Smart Label, China &
Users' Conference is the official and premier event on Smart Cards
and Smart Label (RFID) in China with nearly three thousand
delegates from 20 countries in attendance, making this China's
largest conference and exhibition on Smart Cards and Smart Labels.
This year's conference will highlight the increased interest in
Smart Cards and Smart Labels from all industry sectors, including
urban public transport, banking, telecom, social welfare, National
ID and passport, tax-control and RFID/tag technology application
for logistics. Ms. Grace will have the pleasure of discussing
e-Smart's revolutionary Biometric Verification Security System(TM)
(BVS2(TM)) featuring the Super Smart Card(TM). E-Smart's Super
Smart Card(TM) is believed by experts to be the world's first and
perhaps only commercially available ISO standard-based,
interoperable, multi-application, biometric smart card with a full
on-card biometric matching system and personal on-card biometric
sensor. The card has both contact and wireless compatibility and
the BVS2(TM) system is designed to provide complete protection to
its holder against identity-based crimes as well as to protect
society from the risk of misidentifying a person in a public
situation where there exists risk of harm or fraud due to
misidentification. Furthermore, with more than 4,000 border
check-points in China from land to airports and sea-ports there is
great interest in extending the use of biometrics in passports. Ms.
Grace is eager to address the conference about the company's Super
Smart Passport(TM), which experts believe to be the first and
perhaps only market-ready "e-passport" that authenticates its
holder's identity via its own on-board fingerprint sensor and
on-board biometric matching system, both powered wirelessly.
Jointly organized by the China Federation of Logistics and
Purchasing and China RFID Standard Working Group, the VIP
attendants from China include the Ministry of Information Industry,
Ministry of Railway and the General Custom Administration.
International keynote speakers will come from India, Korea, China
Hong Kong and Taiwan. The conference is endorsed by the China
Ministry of Science and Technology, Beijing Municipal Bureau of
Commerce, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Construction,
Department of Urban Construction, Article Numbering Center of China
Organizers, China Nation Registration Center for IC Cards, China
Urban Public Transport Association, Information Center of Ministry
of Social Welfare & Security and the Smart Card Forum of China.
