Promoting Secure Smartcards
The Secure ID Coalition's mandate is to promote smartcard technology with consumer privacy and security features in place. The coalition was formed by some giants in the RFID chip and smart card markets, including Texas Instruments, Philips Semiconductors, Infineon Technologies, Gemalto, and Oberthur Card Systems.

These companies feel that the statements made publicly about the security flaws in RFID chips and smartcards are overblown and, I assume, harming the industry as well as projects.
