Smart cards are credit card sized plastic cards with embedded integrated circuit chips that store and process data. They allow a large amount of information to be securely stored and accessed online or offline. Smart cards are portable and protect user information. They use passwords, encryption, and random foreign languages to restrict access and prevent hacking. Common applications of smart cards include banking, payments, loyalty programs, identity verification, and mobile phones. They are classified as contact or contactless based on how they interface with readers and as memory or microprocessor cards based on their capabilities. Smart cards offer advantages over traditional payment methods and are driving the transition to a more digital, cashless society.

WHAT IS SMART CARD ?
A smart card is a credit-card
sized plastic card embedded
with an integrated circuit chip
that makes it "smart".
This marriage between a
convenient plastic card and a
microprocessor allows an
immense amount of
information to be stored,
accessed and processed either
online or offline.
WHY SMRTCARD?

Smart card contains both the data and the


means to process it, information can be processed
to and from a network without changing the card’s
data.
Smart cards are portable, users can carry data
with them on the smart card rather than
entrusting that information on network storage or
a backend server where the information could be
sold or accessed by unknown persons.
HOW SECURE
A smart card can restrict the use of information to an
authorized person with a password.
However, if this information is to be transmitted by radio
frequency or telephone lines, additional protection is
necessary.
One form of protection is ciphering (scrambling data).
Some smart cards are capable of ciphering and deciphering,
so the stored information can be transmitted without
compromising confidentiality.
Smart cards can cipher into billions of foreign languages
and choose a different language at random every time they
communicate.
This process ensures that only authenticated cards and
computers are used and makes hacking or eavesdropping
virtually impossible.

CONTECT BASED – CONTECTLESS

MEMORY – MICROPROCESSOR

PC-CARDS
CONTECT BASED
Some smart cards have golden plates,
contact pads, at one corner of the card.
This type of smart cards are called
Contact Smart Cards. The plates are used
to supply the necessary energy and to
communicate via direct electrical contact
with the reader.
CONTECTLESS
• Some smart cards do not have a contact pad on
their surface. The connection between the
reader and the card is done via radio frequency
(RF).
• They are having embedded antenna inside it.
The reason is some smart cards can be read up
to 1.5 meters away from the reader but some
needs to be positioned a few millimeters from
the reader to be read accurately.
MEMORY
This type of smart cards, contains
EEPROM(Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-
Only Memory), non-volatile memory. Because it is
non-volatile when you remove the card from the
reader, power is cut off, card stores the data.
The data can be locked with a PIN (Personal
Identification Number), your password (3 to 8
digit).
MICROPROCESSOR
• Microprocessor cards, are more like the
computers we use on our desktops.
• They have RAM, ROM and EEPROM with a 8 or
16 bit microprocessor. In ROM there is an
operating system to manage the file system in
EEPROM and run desired functions in RAM.
• The operating system is responsible for the
security of the data in memory because the
access conditions are controlled by the OS.
PC-CARDS
While any IC-embedded card may be called a smart
card, its distinguishing feature is its use for personal
activities.
For example, PC cards have the same characteristics as
a smart card but they are used as peripheral devices such
as modems or game cartridges.
These PC cards are seldom called smart cards since they
are extension devices without personalization. In this
sense, a smart card is a processor card that allows persons
to interact with others digitally to conduct transactions and
other personal activities.
OPERATING SYSTEM
New trend in smart card operating systems is JavaCard Operating System.
JavaCard OS was developed by Sun Microsystems and than promoted to
JavaCard Forum.
Java Card OS is popular because it gives independence to the
programmers over architecture.
Most of the smart cards today use their own OS for underlying
communication and functions.
Another operating system for smart cards is MULTOS (Multi-application
Operating System). As the name suggests MULTOS also supports multi-
applications. But MULTOS was specifically designed for high-security needs.
Worldwide smart card sales
could reach 1.6 billion units in

SMARTCARD 1998.
Western Europe accounts for
about 70% of the current smart
IN card uses.
However, most smart cards

USES
issued today are memory cards
(see Table) with limited
processing capabilities. Still,
hundreds of millions of
processor cards are already in
use today.
Phone cards have become
ubiquitous in Western Europe
and Asia where coin-operated
public phones are becoming
nearly obsolete.
However, processor cards are
projected to be the fastest
growing smart card uses by the
year 2000.
MANUFACTURING
A smart card begins with a micro-controller produced by
semiconductor manufacturers such as Siemens, Motorola
and Thomson.
This integrated circuit chip is attached to an electronic
module by inserting into a cavity on the module.
Then, terminals between the chip and the electronic
module are interconnected. Finally, the chip-embedded
electronic module is glued to a plastic card.
The global leader in card manufacturing is
Schlumberger who sold about half of all smart cards in
use in 1997.

TOWARDS
CASHLESS SOCIETY
Smart cards were first developed as a payment method to
simplify small value transactions.

This has proven to be useful in Western Europe and Asia


where public transportation and public phones are widely
used.

In North American, the popularity of checks, credit cards


and debit cards makes smart cards a less attractive
alternative.

. In some countries, the increasing use of smart cards is


also leading to advancements in banking services and the
acceptance of credit and debit cards by consumers.
