What is smart card?

Standard credit card-sized with microchip

embedded on it. Any pocket-sized card with embedded integrated circuits. Can hold up to 32,000 bytes. Follow the MOOREs law. On a fundamental level, microprocessor cards are similar to desktop computers.

EXAMPLES OF SMART CARDS

EVOLUTION OF SMART CARDS

HISTORY
1950-Used by diners club in 1950 as a plastic card 1968- German inventors patent combination of plastic cards with micro chips. 1970- Japan patent different version. 1974- Roland Moreno invents integrated chip card and patents it in France. 1977- Motorola produces first smart card microchip. 1979- Motorola develops first single chip microcontroller for bank in France.

 1991- AT&T declared its contactless smart card. 1992- Germany uses smart card for health care. 1996- First university campus deployment of chip cards.

CURRENT TRENDS Latest super smart cards have keypads, LCD

displays, battery and math co-processors for performing complex encryption algorithms.

TECHNOLOGICAL FEATURES
256 bytes to 4KB RAM. 8KB to 32KB ROM. 1KB to 32KB EEPROM. Crypto-coprocessors (implementing 3DES, RSA etc., in hardware) are optional. 8-bit to 16-bit CPU. 8051 based designs are common. Length=4.96mm Breadth=4.28mm Chip area=21.33mm2 COS

MEMORY CARDS
IC MEMORY CARDS

MICROPROCESSOR CARDS
Holds a microprocessor or

Can store data,but do not have a processor on the card. OPTICAL MEMORY CARDS Can store only data,but has a larger memory capacity than IC memory cards.

microcontroller chip. Can add,delete and manipulate information in its memory. COS

2. GOVERNMENT APPLICATIONS National ID card Driving license 3. HEALTH APPLICATIONS Patient data card Health professional card

4. CAMPUS SOLUTIONS Student identification Library cards Meal cards Transportation cards

5. EMPLOYEE CARDS ID cards Access cards Time attendance system

6. COMMUNICATIONS AND ENTERTAINMENT SIM Subscriber activation card for pay-TV 7. INFORMATION SECURITY PC Security cards Digital signature Encryption

Telecommuting And Corporate Network Security

ADVANTAGES OF SMART CARDS

CONVENIENCE INTELLIGENCE MULTIFUNCTIONALITY ECONOMIC BENEFITS CUSTOMIZATION SECURITY PERSONALISATION

DISADVANTAGES OF SMART CARDS

FLEXIBILITY HARSH ENVIRONMENT SECURITY IS NOT ALWAYS 100 %. LACK OF STANDARDS FOR FUNCTIONALITY AND SECURITY.

Plastic Cards
Visual identity application
Plain plastic card is enough

Magnetic strip (e.g. credit cards)

Visual data also available in machine readable

form No security of data

Electronic memory cards

Machine readable data Some security (vendor specific)

Smart Cards
Processor cards (and therefore memory too) Credit card size
With or without contacts.

Cards have an operating system too. The OS provides

A standard way of interchanging information An interpretation of the commands and data.

Cards must interface to a computer or

terminal through a standard card reader.

Smart Cards devices

GND VCC VPP Reset I/O Clock

Reserved

Smart Card Readers

Computer based readers Connect through USB or COM (Serial) ports

Dedicated terminals Usually with a small screen, keypad, printer,

often also have biometric devices such as thumb print scanner.

FUTURE OF THE SMART CARD

I believe smart cards are the wave of the future for consumer use, commercial use and internal

network security. Europe already has a head start on the U.S., as smart cards are in much wider use there. With this technology identity theft and credit card fraud can be controlled to a great extent. Further it will give a fillip to the Internet commerce. It will be no exaggeration to predict that the future belongs to contact less smart card supporting multiple applications.
