Abstract

This article gives brief introduction to the security mechanisms used in smart card technology. Firstly we introduce the properties of contact and contactless smart cards; then we give the anatomy of smart card hardware and the popular security features implemented. These security features are arranged in the attack and countermeasure pairs, so it is easier for the readers to understand the security issues in the smart card technology.
