Introduction

In 1968 German inventors patent


combination of plastic cards with micro
chips.
History
 1968
German inventor Jurgen Dethloff along with Helmet Grotrupp filed a
patent for using plastic as a carrier for microchips.

 1970
Dr. Kunitaka Arimura of Japan filed the first and only patent on the
smart card concept

 1974
Roland Moreno of France files the original patent for the IC card, later
dubbed the “smart card.”

 1977
Three commercial manufacturers, Bull CP8, SGS Thomson, and
Schlumberger began developing the IC card product.
History
 1979
Motorola developed first single chip Microcontroller for French
Banking

 1982
World's first major IC card testing

 1992
Nationwide prepaid card project started in Denmark

 1999
Federal Government began a Federal employee smart card
identification
What is a Smart Card?

 Standard credit card-sized with microchip embedded on it


 Two types
 Memory-only chips
 Microprocessor chips
What is a Smart Card?

 Can hold up to 32,000 bytes


 Newer smart cards have math co-processors
 Perform complex encryption routines quickly
Construction of Smart Cards
Examples of Smart Cards
Applications
 Payment System
 Smart Networking
 National ID / Authentication
 University Identification
 Financial Applications
 Retail & Loyalty
 Communication Applications
 Transportation
Types of Smart Cards

 Contact Cards

 Contactless Cards

 Dual Interface / Combi cards


Contact Cards
 The contact cards need to be in physical contact with the
card reader in order for information to be exchanged. The
integrated circuit on the chip is connected to a contact plate
(typically a gold plate) on the surface of the card.
 Contact cards make up 91.92% of the total smart card market
as of 2002
Contactless Cards
 Contact-less smart cards contain an embedded antenna,
instead of contact pads attached to the chip, for reading and
writing information contained in the chip's memory. Contact-
less cards do not have to be inserted into a card acceptor
device.
 Student identification, electronic passport, vending ,parking
and tolls are common applications for contact-less cards.
Dual Interface cards
 In more recent developments, there are now cards with both a
contact and a contact less interface (dual interface or combi-
cards).
 These may incorporate two non-communicating chips - one for each
interface - but preferably have a single, dual interface chip
providing the many advantages of a single e-purse, single operating
architecture, etc.
Parts of Smart Card

 Generally, it is made up of three


elements. The plastic card, a
printed circuit or contact disc and
an integrated circuit chip are
embedded on the card.
Advantages
 Flexibility
 Security
 Portability
 Increasing data storage capacity
 Reliability.
Disadvantages

• NOT tamper proof


• Can be lost/stolen
• Lack of user mobility – only possible if user has smart card
reader every he goes
• Has to use the same reader technology
• Can be expensive
• Working from PC – software based token will be better
• No benefits to using a token on multiple PCs to using a smart
card
• Still working on bugs
Why Smart Cards?

 Enhanced security
 Offline transactions
 Multifunctional
 Customization
 Economical
 Portable
Future

 Health Services
 Education
 Transportation
 Welfare
 Entitlement Documents
 Telecommunications
