This total is evenly split between government identity credentials, used for securing the identities of federal government employees and military personnel and for electronic passports (ePassports), used for protecting the personal information of US citizens traveling abroad.
Some of Gemalto’s products delivered for the US Government are the Gemalto PIV card, and the Smart Guardian (SG) FIPS USB Key. The new Gemalto PIV card has dual contact/contactless technology and doubles the storage capacity of previous PIV cards to handle larger encryption keys and store multiple identity certificates. The card also supports adding new applications, such as biometric match-on-card, if desired. The smart card-based SG FIPS is a zero-footprint encrypted secure flash drive that meets Military Standard 810-F environmental standards.
