About Smart Card
A smart card is made up of PVC, polyester, or polycarbonate and is embedded with an IC, an MCU, and a memory chip. The memory chip is embedded with a smart card IC that can store and process a large amount of data. The microcontroller helps to secure payment transactions with functions such as encryption and digital signatures. It provides a tamper-resistant system and protects in-memory information, thereby reducing cases of fraud.
