Smart cards, small portable credit-card shaped devices, each have an internal integrated circuit (IC). The combination of the small size and IC make them valuable tools for security, data storage, and special applications. Smart cards can provide different security-level options ranging from simple access control to complex data encryption. For example, employees can enter controlled buildings by passing their smart-card badges in front of a reader. Stored keys on smart cards can allow users to log on to networks or send encrypted e-mail messages.
