Abstract

Smart Cards have been increasing in popularity in the last few years. Actually Smart cards are small plastic cards the size of a credit card, but with one difference. Instead of just having embossed lettering and a magnetic strip to contain information, they also have a computer chip. This chip is an Integrated Circuit (IC) that can hold vast amounts of information and provide users with multiple applications. In the coming years more and more Smart Cards will be in use. Smart Cards will replace keys, documents, human actions, cash, and sometimes even palmtops and laptops. The same card will be used as an ID card, drivers license, key to the house and office, access to home entertainment, a wallet, and much more.
