Sun Microsystems is expected to announce later today that it has signed a deal with American Express to develop Java-based smartcards.

The announcement will be made at Sun's JavaOne 2000 developer conference in San Francisco.

According to Reuters, American Express will integrate Java with its existing Blue smartcard product - a traditional magnetic strip card with a smartcard chip for security.

At the conference, the two companies will announce a competition to encourage developers to write applications for the smartcard.
