Information
Profile @ a Glance
- Early smart cards were disposable, and were an effective means
to reduce losses.Today’s smart cards are re-usable, hold large
quantities of data, speed transaction
times, identify the cardholder, and even provide loyalty benefits.
- While smart cards can be categorized using several different
parameters, the two most feasible methods are by functional use (contact
vs. contactless) and by chip hierarchy.
- The category of chip hierarchy refers to the method in which the
chip (within the smart card) is constructed, and the resulting
capabilities of that chip.
- SIM (Subscriber Identification Module): A specific type of
smart card for GSM systems holding the subscriber’s ID number, thus
allowing him/her to call from any GSM device.
- The major card associations have collaborated to develop the EMV (Europay,
MasterCard, Visa) standard, a mechanism by which the payments industry
is seeking to ensure that cards, terminals and other systems will
successfully interact, for debit and credit applications at least,
wherever they are in the world.
- A smart card must be programmed with an operating system (often
called a mask) before it can be
loaded with applications, in much the same way as a PC needs Windows or
Linux before it can run
applications and have any utility for users.
- Smart Card Management Systems (SCMS) manage cards and applications
throughout their entire life cycle, before and after issue to customers.
