Types of Smart Cards :
The IC embedded in the card needs power to operate. Power to the chip is delivered from
card readers in two ways:
1 )Contact
2) Contact-less
The Contact card receives power to the IC when the card is inserted into a card reader.
Standards dictate the positions of the contacts between card and reader.
Contact-less cards receive energy as a result of transferring of electromagnetic energy
between the reader and the coil that is placed in the card.
Combi-cards use Combi Chips; a chip that can operate in �Contact� and �Contactless�
mode.
The I.C cards are required to conform to standards laid down by International Standards
Organization, i.e. ISO-standard ISO 7816 for Contact Cards and ISO 10536 for
Contactless Cards.

The Contact card receives power to the IC when the card is inserted into a card reader (NT) Standards dictatepositions contacts between card and reader. 16:36:18 02/09/03 Sun

Contact-less cards receive energy as a result of (NT) -- transferring of electromagnetic energybetween reader& coil, 16:38:38 02/09/03 Sun

Re: Just the truth not tech literate---but I sense that this combi card (NT) -- is the thing that is turning the world over, 17:02:37 02/09/03 Sun

Gemplus have just deomoed one that is wireless (does everything basically) (NT) -- Octopus for instance extended to Nokia phones, 17:03:57 02/09/03 Sun

Gemplus--the worlds first that does everything--the press release says' (NT) -- Gem would then sell it maybe to Nokia, 17:05:58 02/09/03 Sun

Just an unproven thing at this stage--the tech though that makes it interoperable multi/secure (NT) -- though--is PWI--wherever they sell it (part of), 17:07:20 02/09/03 Sun
