On the potential of high density smart cards

摘要: Abstract It is generally accepted that we live in a time of rapid change. Many advances are due to the introduction new technologies not only bring opportunities but also can have profound effect on human behaviours. Technology always advancing steadily, every so often there evidence momentous leap forward. In fact this report produced courtesy laptop, mobile phone and Internet, i.e. powerful regard as essential modern life yet would been considered science fiction 30 years earlier. This “information technology” has empowered individuals like never before, however, it indiscriminate works just well for those with good or bad intentions. Therefore, safeguard from bad, field Information Security was born. steadily evolving developed special its own use fight keep systems, information secure. One these Smart Card (SC) proven itself be tamper-resistant security token deployed end-users secure systems protocols. The cards very successful evolved surprising level sophistication; may at point when smart card makes assumption-shaking reason view arises because vendors now pre-production prototypes High Density Cards (that will refer HDSCs) aimed initially communications market, which could change our perception tokens associated system architectures processes. paper explores possibility by first reviewing current roles limitations conventional then comparing HDSC. Finally, some thoughts presented business reality introducing HDSCs.
