Smart cards are plastic cards with embedded microchips that can store and process data. They come in various types, including contact cards that must be inserted into a reader, contactless cards that communicate via radio frequency, and dual-interface cards that can be used either way. Smart cards provide secure storage of identification, banking, medical, and other important user information and enable faster transactions. They are defined by international standards for dimensions, communication protocols, and more. While offering benefits like security, portability, and flexibility, smart cards also have drawbacks including higher costs and limited reader compatibility compared to traditional cards.

1. SMART CARD TECHNOLOGY.

2. Aim of my ppt is to just give you a brief idea about the smart card technology being one of the best steps towards the advancement of science and technology , making our life faster and obviously easier.

10. Conclusion.1. What is a smart card?The standard definition of a a smart card, or integrated circuit card (ICC), is any pocket sized card with embedded integrated circuits. ORA smart card is a plastic card with a small, built in microcomputer chip and integrated circuit that can store and process a lot of dataDimensions of smart card.85.6mm x 53.98mm x 0.76mm(defined by ISO 7816)

11. Chips being used:-VccRSTCLKAUX1GNDSWPI/OAUX2

12. Vcc - gives the biasing voltage to the smart card.RST- resets the data stored in the smart card.CLK- provides the clock signals for the operations.GND – provides ground as usual.Vpp –provides the programming voltage to the EEPROM.But now it is not used,because the modern cards are capable of generating programmin voltage by itself when comes in contact with a reader.I/P,O/P- is the input output port.AUX1/2- are auxilliarycontacts,used by USB devices.

13. Types of smart card.Contact smart cards.Contactless smart cards.Dual interface smart cards.Hybrid smart cards.Integrated circuit microprocessor smart card.

14. 1. Contact smart card.Contact smart cards have a contact area comprised of several gold plated contact pads(chip) A contact smart card must be inserted in to a smart card reader with a direct connection to the conductive plates of the surface of the smart card.

15. 2. Contactless smart card.Uses an inbuilt internal antenna for communication with the card reader.It just requires a close proximity (10 cm.)to the reader.The readers also have an inbuilt internal antenna to identify the smart card and communicate with it.The antenna used in these use radio frequency to communicate.

16. Contactless smart card:-

17. 3.Dual interface smart cards.Also called Combi card.Has a single chip over it.Has both contact as well as contactless interfaces.We can use the same chip using either contact or contactless interface with a high level of security.

18. Dualinterface smart card.

19. 4.Hybrid smart card.Two chips.One with contact interface.Other with contactless interface.No connection between the two chips.

20. Hybrid smart cards.

21. 5.Integrated circuit (ic) microprocessor card.Microprocessor cards , also called as chip cards offer greater range of memory storage of data than a traditional smart card.Chips used are also called as microprocessors with internal memory.

22. What is iso 7816, iso14443 .1. ISO-7810.Internationally accepted standard for smart cards.Deals with different aspects of smart card. Like:-a. Dimensions.b. Radio frequency range.c. Mechanical stress.d. Location of IC in the card.e. Location of magnetic strip in the card.Etc…

23. ISO-7816.Has 14 divisions.Part 1,2,3- deal with contact smart card.(defines its physical aspects).Part 4,5…..9;11,12…..15- deal with both contact as well as contactless cards.Define- a. Card logical structure.b. Programming.c. Biometric verification.Part 10 defines the chip for memory cards for applications like telephone or electricity billing.

24. ISO 14443.International standard.Deals – only contactless smart cards.Defines:-Interface.Radio frequency interface.Electrical interface.Operating distance.Etc…..
