- kremlin 13y agothanks. First sentence of second paragraph had my mind in shambles trying to parse it. "There isn't a card with an electronic chip available, or it has some sort of security technology that UCL professor Jean-Jacques Quisquater (67) was involved in developing." I haven't a clue what that means. [edit] wait, your link just ends up at the same article for me.
- jessaustin 13y agoThat sentence is not perfectly idiomatic, but it seems to assert that Prof. Quisquater was involved in developing security tech for all chip-equipped cards that are currently available.
- intslack 13y agoA mod changed the link, earlier it was just a several sentence gigaom "article" linking to a Google translation of http://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20140131_049 http://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20140131_049.
- 1337biz 13y agoThanks to the mod for the link change. Only found the standaard translation and thought the gigaom was at least some form of a summary and better than a google translated document.
- createmyaccount 13y agoThat sentence is a literal translation from Dutch. Basically saying that the professor has been involved in the development of basically any card with an electronic chip available.
- things 13y agoThat's a pretty literal translation from Dutch, a better interpretation would be "There isn't a chip card in circulation without security technology based on the work of UCL professor Jean-Jacques Quisquater".
- kremlin 13y agoThat's what I thought it meant after trying to re-piece the words together in a way that made sense in English.
