2. Introduction to Smart Card
A smart card contains a "chip" with memory and is typically used to hold customer account information and a "balance" of money similar to a checking account. The card is inserted into a device that can read and write to it updating information appropriately.

6. Types Of Chips Cards
Often the terms “chip card,” “integrated circuit card” and “smart card” are used interchangeably, but they can mean different things.
There are three different types of chips that can be associated with these cards:
Memory only
Wired logic
Microcontroller
Types of smart card

7. Functions of Smart Card
Access Control Tools.
Payment Tools..
Information Storage and Management Tools.

8. Smart Card Readers Computer based readers
Connect through USB or COM (Serial) ports

10. Advantages of Smart Cards
The capacity provided by the on-board microprocessor and data capacity for highly secure, off-line processing
Established track record in real world applications
Durability and long expected life span
Chip Operating Systems that support multiple applications
Secure independent data storage on one single card

11. Comparison with Magnetic Stripe Cards
The increasing complex performance and application requirements of today's card systems have spurred interest in smart cards as an alternative to magnetic stripe cards, or as an enhancement to magnetic stripe cards in the form of a hybrid card which can support more than one technology (a smart card micro-module and a magnetic stripe).

12. Smart Card Applications
Financial Applications
Electronic Purse to replace coins for small purchases in vending machines and over-the-counter transactions.
Credit and/or Debit Accounts, replicating what is currently on the magnetic stripe bank card, but in a more secure environment.
Securing payment across the Internet as part of Electronic Commerce.
Communications Applications
The secure initiation of calls and identification of caller (for billing purposes) on any Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) phone.
Subscriber activation of programming on Pay-TV.

13. Continue…… Information Security
Employee access cards with secured passwords and the potential to employ biometrics to protect access to computer systems.
Physical Access Control
Employee access cards with secured ID and the potential to employ biometrics to protect physical access to facilities.
Transportation
Drivers Licenses.
Electronic Toll Collection Systems.

14. Continue…… Student Identification
All-purpose student ID card (a/k/a campus card), containing a variety of applications such as electronic purse (for vending machines, laundry machines, library card, and meal card).
Health Care
Consumer health card containing insurance eligibility and emergency medical data.

15. Conclusion
Smart cards can be used for identification, authentication, and data storage
Smart card can provide strong authentication for single sign- on or enterprise single sign-on to computers, laptops, data with encryption,enterprise resource planning platforms such as SAP, etc
