smart card

A plastic card similar in size to a credit card that has memory and a microprocessor embedded in it. A smart card can store and process information, including passwords, certificates, and keys. A smart card normally requires a personal identification number (PIN) or biometric measurement (such as a fingerprint) before releasing information and can carry out its own authentication evaluation. Smart cards can exchange information with a personal computer through a smart card reader.
