 Abstract

Now a days chip card technology (smart cards) is fast becoming

common place in our culture and daily lives. A SMART CARD is a card
that is embedded with either a microprocessor and a memory chip or only a
memory chip with non-programmable logic. The microprocessor can add,
delete, and otherwise manipulate information on the card, while a memory
chip card (for example pre paid phone cards) can only undertake a pre
defined operation smart cards, unlike magnetic strip cards, can carry all
necessary function and information on the card. Therefore, they do not
require access to remote databases at the time of the transaction. This paper
deals with what is a smart card, why smart card are used , what are the
different types of chip cards are used, multi application card system, and
their security. This paper mainly concentrates on smart cards security.
Lastly this paper discuss on application and on future scope.
 INTRODUCTION
Smart card is a small plastic that is embedded with either
a microprocessor or a memory chip.

Provides cryptographic services (e.g. authentication

confidentiality, integrity)

It is small and personal

It is a secure device
 HISTORY OF SMART CARDS
In the early 1950s diners club produced the first all
plastic cards to be used for payment
application.
Smart card has its origin in 1970s by inventors

Germany, Japan and France.

First mass use was for payment in French payphones.

The manufacturer of smart cards are Gemplus , IBM,

siemens, Telesec and many more.

 What is smart about the smart
cards..??
Smart cards are capable of not just storing data
but also have processing power.
The data stored can be protected against
unauthorized access and tempering.
They are appropriate for secure and
convenient data storage.
Smart cards have the property of
multifunctionality.
Whats inside a smart card?

Test logic
Micro processor

ROM
Security logic

RAM

Serial I/O
interface EEPROM
 Whats inside a smart card ?
Microprocessor :-it is heart of the chip.

Security logic :-it detects the abnormal condition in the card.

Serial i/o interface :- it contact to the outside world.

Test logic :- it is self test procedures.

Rom :- it is card operating system.

-it is typically 16 Kbytes.
-it future 32/64 Kbytes.
 Contd..
RAM:-it is scratch pad of the processor
-It is typically 512 bytes
EEPROM:-cryptographic keys
-pin code
-biometric template
-balance
-application code
 Contd..
Databus :-it is a connection between elements
of the chip.

- it is 8 or 16 bit wide
 Basic smart card security features
Hardware
Closed package.

Memory encapsulation

Security logic (sensors)

Software
Decoupling applications and operating system

Restricted file access

Life cycle control

 Smart card application areas
Communication
Entrainment
Retail
Transportation
Health care
 Contd..
Government
E-commerce
E-banking
Education
office
 Advantages
A chip tamper resistant.
Information stored on the card can be pin
protected and read write protected.
Capable of performing data encryption
Capable of processing information
 Disadvantages
The accuracy of information is small
It gives liability issues if stolen or lost
It is potential area for computer hackers and
computer viruses.
Lack of technology to support users
 Conclusions
Smart card is an excellent technology to secure
storage and authentication.
Smart card technology is emerging,
application are everywhere .
Smart card enhance service and security .
Perfect security does not exit, even not for
smart cards.
A smart world is the future.
