Submited by :- Rohit Sharma Roll No:92 MCA 1st Sem. What is a smart card ? A small plastic card embedded with an IC chip. A microprocessor capable of securely storing and processing information. Useful for hundreds of applications Debit, credit, sim Identity, memory
Smart Card has its origin in 1970s by inventors from Germany, Japan and France.
Until mid 80s most of the work on Smart Cards was at the research and development level.
First use was with the integration of microchips into all French debit cards.
The major boom in smart card use came in the 1990s, with the introduction of the smart-card- based SIM used in GSM mobile phone. History of Smart Cards What is SMART about the Smart Cards ??
Smart Cards are capable of not just storing data but also have processing power.
The data stored can be protected against unauthorized access.
They are appropriate for secure and convenient data storage.
INTEGRATED CIRCUITS Smart-card ICs provide the logic for specific card applications.
The ICs are :- Memory chips
Microprocessor chips Types of smart cards Based on the way the smart card interacts with the Reader, smart cards are of three types Contact Smart Cards
Contactless Smart Cards
Combination Smart Cards Pin Configuration VCC Reset Clock Reserved GND VPP I/O Reserved Memory in smart cards ROM EEPROM RAM
Data stored in ROM & EEPROM is persistent and is kept when power is lost.
Data stored in RAM is transient, and is lost as soon as power is lost . Smart Card Standards ISO 7816 >ISO7816-1 >ISO7816-2 >ISO7816-3
