What is Smart Card IC?
A smart card integrated circuit (IC) is a small, embedded microchip that stores and processes data securely within a smart card. It comprises hardware and software components that enable various functions, such as authentication, encryption, and data storage, within a compact and tamper-resistant card. It can support multiple applications on a single card, such as payment, access control, identification, and healthcare information storage. It has built-in cryptographic capabilities, which enable secure data encryption and decryption for authentication and privacy. It offers safe storage of sensitive data, such as personal identification, financial information, and access credentials. It is widely used in contactless transit cards and electronic toll collection systems for quick and secure fare payment.
