CAC does not meet all of those specifications. This effort has been called by some Son of CAC.

CAC has also been a royal PITA around here, forcing the use of multiple badges and access cards until we get a interoperable readers everywhere

The first day I was converted to NMCI (Navy-Marine Corps Intranet) at work, I managed to "lock up" my CAC card. Had to go to a CAC issuer to get it unlocked - talk about a PITA. Thankfully the electronic thumbprint thing worked.

A lot of Navy websites now recognize whether you're accessing them from an NMCI machine or not, and if you are you have to jump through extra hoops. NMCI is as big a PITA as CAC.
