What is an IC card?

IC card? IC card, also known as smart card (Smart card), intelligent card (Intelligent card), microcircuit card (Microcircuit card) or microchip card, etc. It is a microelectronic chip embedded in the card base in accordance with ISO 7816 standard. It is a microelectronic chip embedded in the card base in line with ISO 7816 standards, made in the form of cards, IC cards and read-write communication between the contact can be contact, can also be non-contact. According to the communication interface IC card is divided into contact IC card, contactless IC and dual interface card.

IC card security is much greater than the ID card. ID card card number read without any permission, easy to imitate. IC card data recorded in the read, write are required to read the corresponding password authentication, and even each area of the card are protected by different passwords to protect the overall protection of data security, the IC card to write the data of the password and read out the data of the password can be set to a different, providing a good way of hierarchical management to ensure that the system security. The system is safe and secure.

Extended information:

Because of the ID card card has no content, so the card holder's rights, the system functions to operate to rely entirely on the computer network platform database support. support. The IC card itself has recorded a large number of user-related content (card number, user information, permissions, consumer balance and a lot of information), can be completely detached from the computer platform to realize the network and offline automatic conversion of the mode of operation, to achieve a wide range of use, less wiring needs.

IC card initialization encryption, to the user to use, the customer through the IC card issuance system, and the user card to generate their own system of special keys. In this way, it ensures that the user card issued in other user systems can not be used in the system to ensure the uniqueness of the system, thus ensuring the security of the system to use the mechanism.
