The conference will cover HSPD-12 and FIPS 201 in-depth, providing attendees with critical information that will help them deploy smart cards on the accelerated timeline that HSPD-12 requires. "Government adoption of smart card technology is impacting identity management and security far beyond Washington, D.C. and is affecting the entire market," said Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the Smart Card Alliance. "Developments in recent months have significantly advanced HSPD-12 and the ePassport program. NIST released new technical and implementation standards impacting HSPD-12, while DHS and the State Department undertook interoperability testing for ePassports. This conference will provide the latest information on both initiatives, directly from the government and industry leaders making them happen."

CARDS stands for C[O]mputer Access to Research on Dietary Supplements. It is a database of federally funded research projects pertaining to dietary supplements. Currently, CARDS contains projects funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Institutes and Centers (ICs) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) beginning with fiscal year 1999, the first year that NIH ICs began reporting research related to dietary supplements. Projects funded by other Federal agencies will be added to CARDS as they become available. The Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) will post notices on its website and listserv when CARDS updates are completed.
