INTRODUCTION
A smart card is a credit-card sized plastic card embedded with an integrated circuit chip that makes it "smart". This marriage between a convenient plastic card and a microprocessor allows an immense amount of information to be stored, accessed and processed either online or offline. Smart cards can store several hundred times more data than a conventional card with a magnetic stripe. The information or application stored in the IC chip is transferred through an electronic module that interconnects with a terminal or a card reader

What is SMART about Smart Card ??

Smart Card are capable of not just storing data but also

have processing power. They have larger storage capacity when compared to magnetic swipe card. The data stored can be protected against unauthorized access and tampering. They are appropriate for secure and convenient data storage. Smart card have property of multifunctionlity.

TYPES OF SMART CARD..

Based on the way the Smart Card interact with the Reader, they are of two types: 1.Contact Smart Cards: These require insertion into the Card Reader. 2.Contactless Smart Cards: These require close proximity of the reader.

The contact smart card consists of small contact plate on the face, which is 1/2" in diameter. The transmission of data takes place when this contact plate comes in contact with the connector of the reader. This card consist of an IC Chip and an antenna coil embedded into it. These cards are mainly used when transaction must be processed quickly.

CATEGORY OF SMART CARD

Based on the type of IC chip embedded on the card, they are categorized into three types: 1.IC Micro Processor Cards: Smart cards with microprocessors look like standard plastic cards, but are equipped with an embedded integrated circuit (IC) chip. They can store information, carry out local processing on the data stored, and perform complex calculations. These cards take the form of either "contact" cards or "contactless" cards. 2.IC Memory Cards: Memory cards can store a variety of data, including financial, personal and specialized information but can not process information. 3.Optical Memory Cards: Optical cards use some form of laser to read and write to the card.

HOW DOES IT ALL WORK

 The reader driver passes all IOCTL requests to the SmartcardDeviceControl driver library routine. If the parameters that the reader driver passes to SmartcardDeviceControl are incorrect, SmartcardDeviceControl returns with an error message. SmartcardDeviceControl returns without completing the IOCTL request. In this situation, the reader driver must complete the IOCTL request. If the parameters are valid, SmartcardDeviceControl processes the IOCTL request if it can. SmartcardDeviceControl checks whether the reader driver has a callback routine defined for the IOCTL request that it is processing. If the callback exists, SmartcardDeviceControl calls it. The callback routine calls all the driver library routines that are required to complete the processing of the IOCTL request. After processing the IOCTL request, the callback routine returns to SmartcardDeviceControl. SmartcardDeviceControl completes the IRP that carried the IOCTL. SmartcardDeviceControl returns control to the reader-driver dispatch routine. The smart card library synchronizes access to the reader driver. No two callback functions will be called at the same time. However, the event handling for card insertion and removal must be processed asynchronously.

APPLICATION OF SMART CARD

In Banks: They are used as credit/debit bank cards.
Medical Applications: They can be used as Health

Insurance card or Medical File Access card. In Transport Services: For urban parking, airline application and electronic toll collection. In Telecommunication: The smart card contain the phone numbers on the network, billing information and call numbers. Used as identification cards.

ADVANTAGES:
A chip is tamper resistance.

Information stored on the card can be PIN protected and read-

write protected. Capable of performing data encryption. Capable of processing information.

DISADVANTAGES:
It gives a liability issue if stolen or lost. It is potential area for computer hacker and computer viruses. Cost and Availability

FUTURE SCOPE:
Smart Card readers can be built into future computers or

peripherals which will enable the user to pay for goods purchased on the internet. In the near future the multifunctional smart card will replace the traditional magnetic swipe cards.
