RFID And Smart Cards

MIFARE Classic card is just a memory storage device, where the memory is divided into segments and blocks with simple security mechanisms for access control, are ASIC-based and have limited computational power. These cards are widely used for electronic wallet, access control, corporate ID cards, transportation or stadium ticketing.

Its a technology that uses communication via radio waves to exchange data between a reader and an electronic tag attached to an object, for the purpose of identification and tracking. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader. RFID cards has diverse range of functions, while provides convenience, as the cards must simply be waived or tapped in front of a reader rather than swiped. These cards are used for applications as access control, time and attendance, network login security, biometric verification, cashless payment, and even event management.

Smart cards are programmable with built-in sensors and embedded integrated circuits and microprocessor. These cards can also be imprinted with customized logos and graphics. These resembles a credit card / debit cards in size and shape, but is completely different. Inside we see, a normal credit card is a simple piece of plastic .Inside of a smart card usually contains an embedded microprocessor, which is under a gold contact pad on one side of the card. Think of microprocessor as replacing the usual magnetic stripe on a credit card / debit card.

 Smart Card Chips contain both memory and a microprocessor , again similar to a small floppy disk, except they contain an "intelligent" controller that is used to securely add, delete, change, and update information contained in the chip's memory. The more sophisticated microprocessor chips have state-of-the-art security features built in to protect the contents of memory from unauthorized access. Contact smart cards must be inserted into a card acceptor device. This type of e-card is used to assist network security, loyalty programs, electronic cash transfers campus IDs, government IDs, e-commerce, health cards, and many more applications. We produce different styles with custom company logos on the card for different usages
