Card Security and Cryptography
One of the key benefits of smart cards is the ability for some cards to support on board cryptography. For more information on cryptography please read 'Applied Cryptography' by Bruce Schneier. Cryptographic smart cards open up a whole new realm in information security because it now allows a secure place for storage of keys and keyrings. By doing the actual cryptography on the card, the keys never have to leave their storage place.

Smart Card HOWTO
This document gives information on the smart card technology and its applications in Linux environment. Smart cards are mainly used in situations where security is an issue. But this is not the only situation where smart cards are used. They have many properties which a service provider wants to use, such as 'one card for many applications'.

Smart Card Security
The smart card, an intelligent token, is a credit card sized plastic card embedded with an integrated circuit chip. It provides not only memory capacity, but computational capability as well. The self-containment of smart card makes it resistant to attack as it does not need to depend upon potentially vulnerable external resources.
