CCID ( chip card interface device) protocol is a USB protocol that allows a smartcard to be connected to a computer via a card reader using a standard USB interface, without the need for each manufacturer of smartcards to provide its own reader or protocol. [1] This allows the smartcard to be used as a security token for authentication and data ...
The Chip Authentication Program (CAP) is a MasterCard initiative and technical specification for using EMV banking smartcards for authenticating users and transactions in online and telephone banking. It was also adopted by Visa as Dynamic Passcode Authentication (DPA). [1] The CAP specification defines a handheld device ( CAP reader) with a ...

The card itself is a smart card about the size of a credit card. [ 1] Defense personnel that use the CAC include the Selected Reserve and National Guard, United States ...
Secure access module. A Secure Access Module (SAM), also known as a Secure Application Module, is a piece of cryptographic hardware typically used by smart card card readers to perform mutual key authentication. [ 1][ 2][ 3] SAMs can be used to manage access in a variety of contexts, such as public transport fare collection and point of sale ...
In cryptography, the OpenPGP card [1] is an ISO/IEC 7816 -4, -8 compatible smart card [2] that is integrated with many OpenPGP functions. Using this smart card, various cryptographic tasks ( encryption, decryption, digital signing/verification, authentication etc.) can be performed. It allows secure storage of secret key material; all versions ...
Chip and PIN cards and readers are finally rolling out in the United States. Unlike traditional magnetic cards, which use static information to make a transaction, these pieces of plastic create a ...
A card reader is a data input device that reads data from a card-shaped storage medium and provides the data to a computer. Card readers can acquire data from a card via a number of methods, including: optical scanning of printed text or barcodes or holes on punched cards, electrical signals from connections made or interrupted by a card's punched holes or embedded circuitry, or electronic ...
Smart card. A smart card ( SC ), chip card, or integrated circuit card ( ICC or IC card ), is a card used to control access to a resource. It is typically a plastic credit card-sized card with an embedded integrated circuit (IC) chip. [ 1] Many smart cards include a pattern of metal contacts to electrically connect to the internal chip.
