ASE Study OF AN Embedded System FOR A Smart Card

A smart card is an embedded system used for credit, debit, ID, and medical cards that contains a microcontroller, RAM, ROM, flash memory, timers, and interfacing circuits. It also has embedded software like an OS, file system, communication protocols, cryptography, and authentication algorithms. The hardware works with the software to allow the card to securely communicate with a host system, store user data, and perform tasks like authentication and data encryption.
