How Many Types Of Smart Cards Are There?
Smart Cards are mainly divided into three types, Contactless RFID Cards, Contact IC Cards, Dual Interface Cards (CPU Cards)...
Smart card is a type of IC card (Integrated Circuit Card). According to the different types of embedded chips, IC cards can be divided into three types:
1. Memory card: The integrated circuit in the card is a programmable read-only memory EEPROM that can be erased electrically. It only has a data storage function and no data processing capability; the memory card itself has no hardware encryption function and only encrypts files. It is easy to crack.
2. Logic encryption card: The integrated circuit in the card includes an encryption logic circuit and a programmable read-only memory EEPROM. The encryption logic circuit can protect the card and the data in the card to a certain extent, but it is only a low-level protection and cannot prevent malicious attacks. .
3. Smart card (CPU card)
