This is so incredibly OT, but... One could only wish...many state are in the process of switching over to systems which store just about every piece of information about a person on the strip. For instance last year New Jersey passed a law allowing for the storage of digital versions of a persons signature and picture on the barcode. Some states are even putting the social security number on it. Basically everything that is on the front of the card, is, or will be soon, on the strip.
Think about that the next time you swipe your card to get a 6-pack, get into a local night club, or use Duane's application :-). -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tuesday, March 25, 2003, 10:35:06 AM, you wrote: BD> What about encryption?
