    Smart Card Technology

    Uploaded by

    Smart cards are plastic cards with embedded microprocessors or memory chips that can store and process information securely. There are three main types: integrated circuit microprocessor cards that can provide network access and payment services; integrated circuit memory cards used for pre-paid services; and optical memory cards ideal for medical records. Smart cards utilize encryption algorithms and chip components like CPUs, ROM, and RAM to securely store and process data. Contact smart cards have metal contacts while contactless cards communicate via radio frequency. Both provide secure authentication and transactions.

    Smart Card Technology

    & Features

    Smart Card ??
     The first smart card was developed
    in 1974, by “Roland Moreno”
     A smart card is a plastic card that is
    embedded with either a microprocessor
    or a memory chip.
     These smarts cards have the
    mechanism for storing and/or
    processing information.
    Different kinds of smart cards
    1. Integrated Circuit
    (IC) Microprocessor
    Cards
    2. Integrated Circuit
    (IC) Memory Cards
    3. Optical Memory
    Cards
    (IC) Microprocessor Cards.
     Also called as "chip cards“
     The current generation of chip cards

    has an 8- BIT processor, 16KB ROM,


    and 512 bytes of RAM
    Applications :
     stored value cards

     affinity cards

    These cards can provide services :


    secure access to a network
    cellular phones from fraud
    IC memory cards
     IC memory cards can hold up to 1-4
    KB of data, but have no processor
     also known as the card-accepting
    device
     Applications like pre-paid phone cards
    and also popular as high-security
    alternatives to magnetic stripe cards.
    Optical Memory Cards
     Optical memory cards can store up to 4
    MB of data. But once written, the data
    cannot be changed or removed
     These cards have no processor in them
    (although this is coming in the near
    future)
     This type of card is ideal for record
    keeping - for example medical files,
    driving records, or travel histories.
    The chip components
     Central Processing
    Unit (CPU)
     Read Only Memory
    (ROM)
     Random Access
    Memory (RAM)
     Electrically Erasable
    Programmable Read
    Only Memory
    (EEPROM)
    Cryptographic algorithms
     Smart cards and
    intelligent token uses
    different types of
    encryption systems.
     SHA-1, RSA, DES
     DES was published by
    the National Bureau of
    Standards. It is a secret
    Key cryptographic
    algorithm .
    Contact smart cards
     These smart card has up to 8
    mechanical contacts .
    1. VCC - to supply voltage to the chip
    2. RST -to reset signal
    3. CLK - for external clock signal
    4. GND - for ground
    5. VPP –for high voltage signal
    6. I/O –to transfer data bet smart

    Benefits of Smart Cards
     A smart card can be used as a highly secure
    storage for all kind of confidential information.
     It can be used as a electronic purse.
     The information on smart card cannot be
    copied where as credit card ‘s magnetic stripe
    can easily be copied and then be misused.
     It can be used as a secure token to
    authenticate over the user’s computer and
    bank system.
     Pay Phone, Health care, Identity Access, Pay
    TV, Gaming.
    Intelligent Tokens
     Intelligent Tokens have their own battery as a
    power supply .These batteries may last for 10
    years
     they also have stainless steel surrounding the

    chip
     This shell protects the chip against

    environment changes and any attempt to


    attack the chip.
    Some of the characteristics of the intelligent tokens
    The risks of using smart cards
    1. Losing value
    2. Key compromise
    3. Intelligent Tokens

     Security of Intelligent tokens


    When software and PC hardware are
    hacked, the keys remain safe in the
    digitally and physically secure iButton
    chip .
    Conclusio
    n
     The characteristics of both contact /
    contact-less smart cards are the same
    with one difference that is the distance
    required by the contact-less smart cards
     RAM is one of the major differences
    between the Intelligent tokens and
    smart cards
     The use of smart cards will increase in
    the future especially the contact-less
    type and also the use of intelligent
    tokens.
