The RESET project defined a roadmap for European research on smartcard technologies through working groups and stakeholder meetings. The roadmap identifies priority domains and actors in smartcards and establishes a common vision for the future of trusted personal devices in Europe. Additional collaborative research efforts beyond a single project are needed to help European actors maintain leadership in smartcard technologies and address limitations as the field shifts to trusted personal devices. Future EU framework programs provide opportunities to support these research priorities through integrated projects.

3. A Challenging Roadmap
What RESET is aiming at
 Define a global strategy regarding Smart Cards
technology priorities and R&D orientations,
 Federate SM key players around a consensual
vision of the future of Trusted Personal Devices,
 Provide a reliable ground for the European
Commission and National programmes to identify
and support the smart card related research
priorities within FP6.

4. An Iterative and fast Process
Since September (7 months):
 Identification of the main domains and actors
• Setting up of six working groups + Meetings
• Integrate results and define tomorrow’s priorities
Today: Draft version + Public seminar
Short term :
• Draft version to be disseminated globally outside consortium +
feedback collection
• Validation and Final version
Long term:
• Roadmap seeding for Academia, Industry, and EC ...

Round table discussion
 Links with the other roadmap initiatives
 Discussions on the RESET recommendations
 Feed-back for adjustments
The IST FP6
 Trust and security activities in the FP6
 Comments on RESET
An IP project under FP6 first call

8. How to reboot after RESET ?
RESET establishes a common view of
experts from industry and research on
smart card technology bottlenecks
The scope of RESET is beyond and
Integrated Project and even beyond FP6
The RESET roadmap is a reference for
experts and decision makers concerned
by smart card related R&D

9. Next generation smart card
opportunities
Huge business growth potential for smart
cards in “traditional” and future
application
To address those, the smart card must
overcome its current limitations

Devices

10. Need for collaborative RTD
Smart card technology needs are specific:
those will NOT be addressed by other (not
SC dedicated) programmes
Effort required for SC technology
developments is far beyond the means of
single organisations and a single project
FP6 provides a suitable collaboration
framework, and the opportunity for an IP

11. Trusted Personal Devices
Good news : establishment of a consortium
representing the large majority of SC and
SC component manufactures and leading
research institutions
But : this collaboration must focus on
technology developments – applications are
not in the project scope
Hopefully future IP calls will provide
additional support for smart card projects
