    This document discusses smart cards, which are machine-readable plastic cards containing an embedded microprocessor chip that provides security. Smart cards have memory, processing ability, and input/output contacts or a contactless interface. They can store and process data and use cryptographic techniques to authenticate users and securely store information. Common applications of smart cards include SIM cards, credit and debit cards, ID cards, and secure access badges. The document outlines the components and architecture of smart cards, how they communicate and provide security, and various real-world uses.

    SMART CARDS

    Rakesh Belakud VIII sem, E & C , GIT, Belgaum Under the guidance of Prof. Abhishek Deshmukh

    Agenda
    Machine readable plastic cards What are smart cards? Architecture of smart cards Security mechanisms Operation of smart cards Multi-application cards Applications

    Plastic Cards
    Visual identity application Plain plastic card is enough

    Magnetic strip (e.g. credit cards) Visual data also available in machine readable form No security of data Electronic memory cards Machine readable data Some security (vendor specific)

    Smart Cards
    Processor cards (and therefore memory too) Credit card size With or without contacts. Cards have an operating system too. The OS provides A standard way of interchanging information An interpretation of the commands and data. Cards must interface to a computer or terminal

    through a standard card reader.

    Typical Configurations

    256 bytes to 4KB RAM. 8KB to 32KB ROM. 1KB to 32KB EEPROM. Crypto-coprocessors (implementing 3DES, RSA etc., in hardware) are optional. 8-bit to 16-bit CPU. 8051 based designs are common. The price of a mid-level chip when produced in bulk is less than US$1.

    Smart Card Readers

    Computer based readers Connect through USB or COM (Serial) ports

    Dedicated terminals

    Usually with a small screen, keypad, printer, often also have biometric devices such as thumb print scanner.

    Communication mechanisms
    Communication between smart card and reader is

    standardized ISO 7816 standard Commands are initiated by the terminal Interpreted by the card OS Card state is updated Response is given by the card.

    Security Mechanisms
    Password
    Card holders protection

    Cryptographic challenge Response


    Entity authentication

    Biometric information
    Persons identification

    A combination of one or more

    10

    Data storage
    Data is stored in smart cards in E2PROM
    Card OS provides a file structure mechanism

    MF

    File types
    EF EF

    Binary file (unstructured)

    DF

    Fixed size record file


    Variable size record file

    11

    Basic File Related Commands


    Commands for file creation, deletion etc., File size

    and security attributes specified at creation time. Commands for reading, writing, appending records, updating etc.
    Commands work on the current EF. Execution only if security conditions are met.

    Each file has a life cycle status indicator (LCSI), one

    of: created, initialized, activated, deactivated, terminated.

    12

    Access control on the files


    Applications may specify the access controls
    A password (PIN) on the MF selection For example SIM password in mobiles Multiple passwords can be used and levels of

    security access may be given

    Applications may also use cryptographic authentication

    13

    How does it all work?

    14

    15

    Multi-application cards

    Status of smart card deployments


    Famous Gujarat Dairy card Primarily an ID card GSM cards (SIM cards for mobiles) Phone book etc. + authentication. Cards for credit card applications. By 2011 end all credit cards will be smart. EMV standard Card for e-purse applications Bank cards Card technology has advanced Contactless smart cards, 32-bit processors and bigger memories JAVA cards

    16

    Conclusions
    An accepted authentication technology for providing tamper

    proof storage of user account identity & security of any

    transaction.
    To store data in separate files which do not interact and transfer

    data in encrypted format to protect information.


    Smart data, a data base has to be created by government to

    centralise the information about all its applications and projects.


    Advantages over magnetic stripe cards helps smart cards helps

    for exponential growth in future.
