 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
 History of Smart Cards
• 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.

• The manufacturers of Smart Cards are IBM,

Siemens, Telesec and many more..
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.

• Smart cards have the property of multifunctionality.

 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

• Contact less Smart

Cards

• Combination Smart
Cards

 Memory in smart cards
ROM
EEPROM
RAM
data stored in 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
