This volume is a compilation of chapters each written by a different author, with Mayes & Markantonakis being the editors. Some chapters are very well written and informative, others are alright. Nevertheless, this is one of perhaps only two volumes available on the market that provide a broad coverage of topics concerning smart cards; the other being Rankl’s smart card handbook whose fourth edition is now 12 years old. Overall, I found it useful in gaining more familiarity with the broad range of topics and issues around smart card technologies, applications, and markets.
