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.

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.
