Smart Card by Udaya Shyama P G: DSI, Bangalore

A smart card is a plastic card with an embedded chip that contains an operating system and application software. It has very limited memory and processing capabilities due to its small size. The chip is protected between layers of the card to prevent bending. Communication with a reader is done via contact-based or contactless interfaces that follow ISO standards. The embedded hardware typically includes a microcontroller, RAM, ROM, flash memory, and components for power regulation and radio frequency communication. The embedded software includes an operating system, file system, cryptography, and classes for network communication and security management.

Smart Card
Smart card a plastic card in ISO standard dimensions, 85.60 x 53.98 x 0.80 mm. Embedded system on a card. SoC (System-On-Chip).
Silicon chip is just a few mm in size and is concealed in-between the layers. Its very small size protects the card from bending

Smart Card OS Special features


Limited use of data types; multidimensional arrays, long 64-bit integer and floating points and very limited use of the error handlers, exceptions, signals, serialization, debugging and profiling. [Serialization means process of converting an object is converted into a data stream for transferring it to network or from one process to another. At receiver end there is de-serialization.]

Smart Card OS Special features


Three-layered file system for the data. Master file to store all file headers. Dedicated file to hold a file grouping and headers of the immediate successor elementary files of the group. Elementary file to hold the file header and its file data. There is either a fixed-length or variable length file management with each file having a predefined offset. Classes for the network, sockets, connections, datagrams, character-input output and streams, security management, digital-certification, symmetric and asymmetric keys-based cryptography and digital signatures.
