Smart Cards: A Case Study


This redbook describes the components and the usage of smart cards and
will help you to design, plan and implement projects that involve
smart cards. These cards have the size and shape of credit cards, but
contain a microprocessor and memory. They interchange data with the
outside world through contacts or radio frequency. These cards
provide a great deal of security for the data stored inside them.

The security and mobility inherent in these cards have made them
grow in popularity in the recent past for a number of applications,
mainly in the financial area.

In this book we describe the basic characteristics of a smart card,
including standards, security features, programming and management of
the cards, as well as the card readers. We go through the process of
implementing an employee card solution in an imaginary company.

Anyone who provides consulting and service activities or implements
smart card solutions will appreciate this book. We do not expect the
reader to have previous knowledge of smart cards.
