About Smart Card Market in the Government Sector
Smart cards are pocket-sized cards that are embedded with integrated circuits. Smart cards can be used in many sectors such as banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI); transportation; government; and healthcare for identification and authentication. They provide individuals with authorized access to secured premises of an organization to ensure data security and confidentiality. Smart cards are used for various applications such as payments and transit ticketing.
In the government sector, smart cards are used for authentication. These cards store data and information of users such as biometric data and bank account details. Some governments, such as that of Turkey, have implemented the use of smart card driving licenses that keep a record of driving offenses and unpaid fines. Smart cards are used to store confidential medical information such as blood type, allergies, and biometric data.
