6. Smart Cards
A smart card is a small card or similar device with an
embedded integrated circuit chip. Smart cards typically
look like a credit card although they can take different
forms. What makes the card “smart” is the embedded
chip. The chip is a powerful minicomputer that can be
programmed for different applications.
The chip enables a smart card to store and access data
and applications securely and exchange data securely
with readers and other systems. Smart card technology
can provide high levels of security and privacy
protection, making smart cards ideal for handling
sensitive information such as identity and personal
health information.

13. MasterCard and Visa has announced that
it will be rolling out new credit and debit
cards. The Card looks and feels like a
normal credit or debit card but comes
with an additional small display and a
button that enables card holders to use
the same card for standard banking
payment functionality and to generate
second-factor one-time passwords (OTPs),
thereby providing strong authentication.
