SMART CARD
Smart Cards are pocket-sized cards made of plastic
which contain an embedded chip which contains encoded
data. They are also known as chip cards or integrated
circuit cards (ICC). The data is fed into the chip which
can be used either as an input (for authentication) or
output (like a punch card) with the help of specifically
designed applications. Some smart cards also have an
embedded hologram or other such mechanisms to circumvent
counterfeiting. The usage of smart cards has
risen considerably since it is a form of strong security authentication for
large companies and organizations
dealing with confidential matters.
