Smart card transactions can be quicker, because the terminal and card communicate with each other -- the terminal verifying that the card is authentic and vice versa -- instead of the terminal having to communicate via Internet or wireless with the card issuer to verify that the card is real and hasn't been reported lost or stolen, says Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the Smart Card Alliance, a nonprofit organization that works to promote the adoption of smart card technology.

Also, when a card leaves the cardholder's physical presence, it can be compromised, using a hand-held information-stealing device called a skimmer,

in which information is encoded into a magnetic stripe on the back of the card, and the newer so-called smart cards, which contain a computer chip that holds information.

In case of overbookings, they delegate the orders to other taxi companies with which they have established trusted business relationships. Collaboration is also established for longer distance trips to find, for most of the time, a fare for both directions.

This trust implies that the car company will not misuse this information nor share it freely with others.

Aerial maps and GPS-style systems will measure "the distance from each property to a series of amenities and services".

Each of the buildings in the database has a unique identification, and the system can specify the use of around 90pc of buildings in the country – if they are, for example, a newsagents, school, takeaway or office block.

The spokeswoman said the GeoDirectory "provides information on property location and type; and spatially derived data that indicate relative distances of all residential properties from a series of key amenities and services including transport, health, education and emergency services".

The new cards contain an embedded microchip, which stores the bearer's information electronically.

The cards were designed to hold personal biometric data on an encrypted chip, including name, a photograph and fingerprints.

The supporting National Identity Register was designed to hold up to 50 pieces of information.

The ID-card scheme was launched in October 2009 but cancelled 16 months later and the database destroyed.

For the smart card technology to work, it must be backed up by fingerprint and eye-scanners in banks, shops, estate agents, hotels, and public services such as hospitals. To check your identity they in turn must have 24hr access to the National Identity Register (NIR). Every time the card is used, information about when, where, and how it was used is stored on the database in the form of an audit log.
