smart card

Plastic card with an embedded microprocessor and/or memory. It can store, for example, personal data, identification, and bank-account details, to enable it to be used as a credit or debit card. The card can be loaded with credits, which are then spent electronically, and reloaded as needed. Possible other uses range from hotel door ‘keys’ to passports and mobile telephone SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards.

The smart card was invented by French journalist Juan Moreno in 1974. Smart cards now have as much computing power as the leading personal computers of 1990.
