"The WLAN Smart Card Consortium is a major new initiative to define specifications for world-wide access to wireless LAN networks with smart card security and related capabilities.
One major challenge that has hampered Wireless Internet growth to date is secure mobility management. This challenge can be resolved using smart card properties. Indeed, smart cards can provide functions for world-wide wireless security, quality of service, roaming, and related services.
To reach this goal, the WLAN Smart Card Consortium endorses existing standards and defines new specifications where needed to provide world-wide access to wireless LAN networks with smart card security, privacy, roaming, convenience, and related capabilities.
Nineteen companies and organizations have joined the consortium as Founding Members, including major infrastructure providers, card and chip manufacturers, start-ups, and academic institutions."
