3. 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 MOORE’s law.
 On a fundamental level, microprocessor
cards are similar to desktop computers.

4. EXAMPLES OF SMART CARDS

6. 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.

7.  1982- ATM cards with smart chips tested and smart
chips placed on telephone cards.
 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.

9. 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

21. 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

22. ADVANTAGES OF SMART CARDS
 CONVENIENCE
 INTELLIGENCE
 MULTIFUNCTIONALITY
 ECONOMIC BENEFITS
 CUSTOMIZATION
 SECURITY
 PERSONALISATION

23. DISADVANTAGES OF SMART CARDS
 FLEXIBILITY
 HARSH ENVIRONMENT
 SECURITY IS NOT ALWAYS 100 %.
 LACK OF STANDARDS FOR FUNCTIONALITY AND
SECURITY.

24. 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)

25. 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.

27. 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.

28. 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.
