The name TokenWorks derives from our experiences in Token based systems.  Token based system use a smart card, magnetic card, bar code, or contactless card to authenticate an individual for payment or access to a product/service.  The systems have much in common, but differ in the card technology.  Therefore the term token is pertinent to all systems.   The term works conveys an image of a foundry or factory where products are brought to life.  Therefore TokenWorks attempts to convey that we are involved in the creation of Token based systems.
