 What
is a Smart Card?
 A
smart card is a card that is embedded with either a
microprocessor and a memory chip (IC card like
ACS
AC0S3) or only a memory chip with
non-programmable logic (memory card like
SLE
smart cards). The IC card 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.
Overview of the ISO7816 Standard
ACS ACOS3 (Previously the ACOS2)
ACOS3
is specifically designed for highly
secure payment applications. With this high degree
of security feature, The ACOS3 16KB card is
particularly suitable for applications such as
network access control, electronic purse and
multitude of other applications in which security is
extremely critical.
ACS ACOS5 PKI Card -
Crypto Card
The ACOS-5 card is an advanced
cryptographic smart card that fully complies with
ISO 7816-1/2/3/4/8/9 and is specially designed for
public-key based applications and for enhancing
security and performance for RSA public-key
cryptographic operations that are essential in smart
card PKI, digital signature and high level security
requirements. ACOS5 provides up to 32KB EEPROM of
secure data storage. Typical applications include
payment system, e-banking, e-commerce, stock
trading, network security, corporate identity,
Microsoft windows logon, PKI application, and
cryptographic middleware layers CSP and PKCS#11.
Philips Mifare
Fully compliant with
ISO 14443A,
MIFARE®
is the industry standard for contactless and dual
interface smart card schemes. With an immense
worldwide installed base, it is a well proven RF
communication technology for transmitting data
between a card and a reader device. The platform
offers a full range of compatible contactless smart
card and reader ICs, as well as dual interface ICs
that provide a secure link between the contactless
and contact card markets.
Philips Mifare DESFire
MIFARE®
DESFire operates at a distance of 10cms
and in accordance with the international standard
ISO 14443A perfectly meets mid-end transportation
segment needs including security and cost
effectiveness. It features a 4Kbyte non volatile
memory, a high speed triple -DES data encryption
co-processor, a flexible memory organization
structure, a mutual 3-pass authentication technique
together with a true random number generator and an
anti-tear mechanism to guarantee data integrity
during contactless transactions.
The MIFARE® classic family is the
pioneer and front runner in contactless smart card
ICs operating in the 13.56 MHz frequency range with
read/write capability.
Siemens SLE4442
The
SLE4442
by Siemens of Infineon is inarguably one of the most
popular cards on the market - widely used as
Identification Applications (Health insurance card,
Access control, Electronic ticketing, Gift and
Loyalty)
256 x 8-bit E-EPROM organization
Byte-wise addressing
Irreversible byte-wise write protection
32 x 1-bit organization of protection
memory
Data can only be changed after entry of
the correct 3-byte programmable security
code (security memory)
