As Businesses and Governments increasingly move from the physical to the electronic world, they need to have a secure mechanism to reliably identify and authenticate the users accessing data and information within their physical and IT infrastructure. The reliability of this mechanism forms the key to enhanced productivity, increased.

Smart Card is a credit card sized plastic card embedded with either a microprocessor and a memory chip or only a memory chip with nonprogrammable logic. The ability of the microprocessor to exchange information and carry out mathematical and logical iterations of data provides the much vouched "smartness" to the Smart Card. Smart Cards are of four types viz.

TYPE OF SMART CARD

• CONTACT CARD
  
  Chip on the card, information exchanged is through physical contact of the card and the card reader.
   

• CONTACTLESS CARD
  
  Chip inside the cards, information exchanged is based on principles of radio frequency by flashing the card in front of the card reader.
   

• HYBRID CARD
  
  Chip on and inside the card, information exchange is by both physical contact with the card reader as well as by flashing the card in front of the card reader.
   

• MEMORY CARD
  
  Plain and secured, information exchange is on the principles of the Contact cards.
   

Smart Card with their inherent capabilities, to store and iterate data are used for a wide variety of applications and can function in standalone or distributed environment. Smart Cards can be used for simple applications requiring plain data storage and can also cater to the needs of complex applications with encryption/decryption.
