	Howstuffworks "What is a "smart card"?"
		Even though smart cards have been around in their modern form for at least a decade, they are just starting to take off in the United States.
		Smarts cards may have up to 8 kilobytes of RAM, 346 kilobytes of ROM, 256 kilobytes of programmable ROM, and a 16-bit microprocessor.
		Smart cards can be used with a smart-card reader attachment to a personal computer to authenticate a user.

	Smart card - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Smart cards were invented and patented in the 1970s.
		The major boom in smart card use came in the 1990s, with the introduction of the smart-card-based SIM used in GSM mobile phone equipment in Europe.They are becoming quite common now.
		A second type is the contactless smart card, in which the chip communicates with the card reader through RFID induction technology (at data rates of 106 to 848 kbit/s).

	Smart Card Security
		Card commands and input data are sent to the chip which responses with status words and output data upon the receipt of these commands and data.
		In smart card terminology, the root or master file (MF), besides the header part which consists of itself, the body part contains the headers of all of the dedicated files and elementary files which contain the MF in their parental hierarchy.
		Moreover, applications applied with smart card technologies are illustrated which demonstrate smart card is one of the best solutions to provide and enhance their system with security and integrity.

	Smart Card Basics
		A smart card, a type of chip card is a plastic card embedded with a computer chip that stores and transacts data between users.
		As smart cards and other chip-based cards advanced, people found new ways to use them, including charge cards for credit purchases and for record keeping in place of paper.
		Smart cards solve both challenges with secure storage and distribution of everything from emergency data to benefits status.

	Smart Card HOWTO
		Smart cards hold these data within different files, and, as you will read, these data is only visible to its program depending on the operating system of the card.
		As the contactless cards are not needed to be inserted into the reader, usually they are only composed of a serial interface for the computer and an antenna to connect to the card.
		Or a better way, new smart cards are deployed with embedded functions that generate public and private keys inside the card which means your private key is not exported to anywhere.

	Prepaid Smart Card Techniques: A Brief Introduction and Comparison
		Telephone cards used in France and elsewhere are probably the best known prepaid smart cards (though some phone cards use optical or magnetic techniques, which are not considered here).
		Memory cards are suitable only for closed systems where a single company issues the cards and accepts them as payment for goods and services, or for systems with very low fraud incentive.
		If cards are issued with value on them, as is of course required with nonrefillable memory cards, then they must be transported, stored, and dispensed, using costly security and audit provisions, like those associated with bank notes.
