The smart card, an intelligent token, is a credit card sized plastic card embedded with an integrated circuit chip. It provides not only memory capacity, but computational capability as well. To use a smart card, either to pull information from it or add data to it, you need a smart card reader, a small device into which you insert the smart card.
The smart card technology is becoming more and more significant and will play an important role in our daily life. It will be used to carry a lot of sensitive and critical data about the consumers ever more than before when compared with the magnetic strip card.
Deployment of smart card solutions to end users helps the Enterprise alleviate security risks and reduce IT costs by replacing passwords with an ATM-like user experience and through employee self-service support. The self-containment of smart card makes it resistant to attack, as it does not need to depend upon potentially vulnerable external resources. Because of this characteristic, smart cards are often used in different applications that require strong security protection and authentication. |
