Smart card contains electronic memory, and possibly an embedded integrated circuit (IC). Smart cards have two different types of interfaces-- the contact smart card and the contactless smart card. Contactless smart cards only require close proximity to a reader to enable the transmission of data, commands and card status, hypothetically taking less time to authenticate versus contact smart cards. Both reader and card have an internal antenna that securely communicates with the other.

 

Various intergrated circuit card types available. Contact cards and Contactless cards.
