    A smart card is defined as a plastic card containing a microprocessor and memory that allows it to store and process data. Smart cards were invented in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They can be classified as contact cards that require insertion into a reader or contactless cards that communicate wirelessly. Smart cards contain memory, processing capabilities, and security features that make them useful for applications like banking, healthcare, transportation, and more. They provide benefits over magnetic stripe cards like durability, security, and ability to store multiple applications. However, their costs are currently higher and infrastructure is still being developed to fully support their capabilities.

    Smart cards
    A Smart Card is defined as: A plastic card, usually similar in size and shape to a credit card, containing a microprocessor and memory (which allows it to store and process data) In laymans term a smart card can be defined as a card with a very tiny computer embedded in it.

    In 1968, German inventor Jurgen Dethloff along with Helmet Grotrupp filed a patent for using plastic as a carrier for microchips. In 1970, Japanese inventor, Kunitake Arimura, applied for a similar patent. In 1974, Frenchman Roland Moreno registered his smart card patent in France.

    Other Cards have a magnetic stripe. The


    Store data in a machine-readable form. Minimize paper utilization in financial transactions Allow automation

    magnetic stripe cards were introduced to:

    Based on this criteria of method of

    communication, the smart cards are classified as Contact and contact less type smart cards
    When classified on basis of components they

    contain, smart cards can be put into two categories. Memory and microprocessor typesmart cards

    Contact Cards

    These cards require insertion into the card reader for being powered.

    Contact less Cards

    Contact less cards dont require insertion into the reader. They just have to be passed near an antenna for the transaction to be carried out.

    Microprocessor/Chip Cards

    As the name implies, these cards incorporate a microprocessor. They are the ones that technically can be called smart cards.

    Memory Cards
    These are the most common and least expensive cards.

    Smart Card Readers

    256 bytes to 4KB RAM. 8KB to 32KB ROM. 1KB to 32KB EEPROM. 8-bit to 16-bit CPU.

    Smart cards have very high level of security because they use 2 levels of authentication:

    Dynamic Code originated by RSA Technology using cryptographic techniques PIN/Password that the owner has to remember

    Insurance Bank Health Care Campus Identification E-Governance Automobile Office E-Cash Transportation

    Durability and long expected life span (guaranteed by vendor for up to 10,000 read/writes before failure) Chip Operating Systems that support multiple applications Secure independent data storage on one single card

    Relatively higher cost of smart cards as compared to magnetic stripe cards. Present lack of infrastructure to support the smart card The consumer must be technically knowledgeable to select the most appropriate card for the target application.
