This document provides an overview of smart card technology. It defines a smart card as a pocket-sized card with embedded integrated circuits that can store and process information for various applications. Smart cards have more capabilities than magnetic stripe cards, including storing user identification, financial information, and performing complex calculations. Examples of smart card uses include banking, mobile phones, secure login for computers/networks, and transportation ticketing. The advantages of smart cards are their longer lifespan, ability to store multiple applications on one card, and more secure storage of data compared to magnetic stripe cards. However, smart cards also have disadvantages like not being tamper-proof and the potential to be lost, stolen, or have bugs.
