SMART CARD
WHAT IS SMART CARD?
1.The standard definition of smart card , or integrated circuit card, is any pocket sized card with embedded integrated circuites.
(or)
2.A smart card is a plastic card with a small ,built in microcomputer chip and integrated circuit that can store and process a lot of data
INTRODUCTION
●Imagine the power of a computer, the speed and security of electronic data, and the freedom to carry
WHY SMART CARDS?
● Enhanced security
● Offline transactions
● Multifunctional
● Customization
● Economical
● Portable
HISTORY OF THE SMART CARD:
In the year of 1968, two Germans namely Jurgen Dethloff and Helmet Grotrupp made the plastic to be the carrier of microchips. In the year of 1970, Dr. Kunitaka Arimura from Japan filed the foremost and exclusive patent on the concept of a smart card. In the year of 1974, Roland Moreno filed the genuine patent on the smart card. In the year of 1977, the three commercial people namely Bull, Schlumberger, and SGS Thomson started advancing the IC card.
In the year of 1979, Motorola advanced the foremost chip microcontroller for the purpose of French banking. In the year of 1982, the foremost IC card testing was done and in the year of 1992, a project began in Denmark on the nationwide prepaid card. In the year of 1999, the Federal government started the smart card identification for the federal employees.
DIMENSIONS OF SMART CARD:
●contact vs contactless
●memory vs micro processer
1.Contact vs contactless:
Contact smart card
Contactless smart card
- Memory Vs microprocessor: The usual and the affordable smart cards are the memory cards and they have the non-volatile memory and the electrically erasable programmable read only memory i.e. EEPROM. As it is a non-volatile memory, if we displace the card from the reader or have issues with the power like power cut then the card saves the information.
The microprocessor cards are similar to the computers and they contain the RAM, ROM, and EPROM with the 8-bit microprocessor or the 16-bit
