Smart Card Developer's Kit is designed to provide the practical information you need to design and build applications that incorporate smart cards. Using a combination of detailed exposition, technical reference summaries, and extended examples, this book familiarizes you with the unique strengths and capabilities of this emerging computer technology. Increase your security from a one-factor security-a password-to a two-factor security-a smart card and its PIN. Use the smart card as a portable place to carry your personal preference information and your identity-establishing private signing key. In marketing applications, a smart card offers a much wider and more flexible set of customer benefits than a magnetic-strip card or a paper record card. A smart card can also carry secured information-such as medical records, licenses, subscriptions, and accreditations-that must be guarded against tampering.
