Smartcards
 
ABSTRACT:
The physical and logical structure of the smart card and the correspondingsecurity access control has been discussed in this paper. It is believed that smart cardsoffer more security and confidentiality than the other kinds of information or transactionstorage. Moreover, applications applied with smart card technologies are illustratedwhich demonstrates smart card is one of the best solutions to provide and enhance their system with security and integrity.Today, smart cards are being used in different areas as they can be used together with other technologies, such as asymmetric cryptographic algorithms, biometricsidentification and to provide highly assured and trusted applications. This paper discussesthree particular areas where demonstrated how different systems can make use of thesmart card to enhance their securities.At the end of the paper, an overview of the attack techniques on the smart card isdiscussed as well. Having those attacks does not mean that smart card is insecure. It isimportant to realize that attacks against any secure systems are nothing new or unique.Any systems or technologies claiming 100% secure are impossible. The mainconsideration of determining whether a system is secure or not depends on whether thelevel of security can meet the requirement of the system.

1. Introduction
Definition:
 A smart card resembles a credit card in size and shape, but inside it is completelydifferent. The inside of a smart card usually contains an embedded microprocessor. Themicroprocessor is under a gold contact pad on one side of the card.
