"Smart cards provide a powerful tool for protecting an individual's
privacy," said Robert Donelson, senior property manager of the Bureau of Land
Management at the Department of Interior (DOI). "For those who have access to
private information, smart cards ensure only legitimate users can access
information, and they can only access the information they need to do a
specific task. Other information that may be in the system can be kept
confidential. Of course, privacy must be protected throughout the system, not
just at the card level."
