What is IC card, M1 card, what is the difference?

A, Definition:

IC Card Definition:

1, is the integrated circuit card, is the emergence of a new type of information tools following the magnetic card.

2, IC card in some countries and regions also known as smartcard (smartcard), smart card (intelligentcard), microcircuit card (microcircuitcard) or microchip card. It is a microelectronic chip embedded in a card base that conforms to the ISO7816 standard and is made in the form of a card.

M1 card definition:

1, refers to Philips subsidiary NXP chip produced by the abbreviation, known as NXPMifare1 series, commonly used S50 and S70 two models.

2, M1 card is common card and keychain type.

Second, IC card, M1 card main difference

1, the field of application is different:

IC card covers almost all of the public **** business areas, can be widely used in finance, telecommunications, transportation, trade, social security, taxation, health care, insurance and so on.

The M1 card has a narrower scope of application and is mainly used in the field of transportation charges.

2, the specific details are different:

IC cards include second-generation ID cards, electronic wallets of banks, cell phone SIM cards of telecom, bus cards and subway cards of public **** transportation, and parking cards used for parking fees, etc., which all play an important role in people's daily life.

M1 cards include automatic fare collection systems for buses, ferries and subways, and are also used in access control, identification and e-wallets.

Extended information:

.

One, the IC card has the following advantages:

1, large storage capacity: IC card storage capacity varies according to the model, small hundreds of characters, large millions of characters.

2, good security and confidentiality, not easy to be copied, IC card information can be read at will, modify, erase, but all need a password.

3, CPU card with data processing capabilities. When exchanging data with the card reader, the data can be encrypted and decrypted to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the exchanged data.

4, long service life, can be recharged repeatedly.

5, IC card has anti-magnetic, anti-static, anti-mechanical damage and anti-chemical damage and other capabilities, information retention years, read and write times in tens of thousands of times.

Two, M1 card has the following advantages

1, high reliability

Non-contact IC card and read-write equipment without mechanical contact, to avoid a variety of failures due to contact reading and writing; non-contact IC card M1 surface without exposed chips, no chip off, electrostatic breakdown, bending damage, etc. My animal?

2, long service life

M1 card can be written repeatedly for 100,000 times, the number of read operations is unlimited;

3, easy to operate, fast

M1 card use no direction, no need to plug and play, and greatly improve the speed of each use; M1 card operation energy supply passive way, non-contact operation;

4, anti-conflict

Contactless card M1 has a fast anti-conflict mechanism to prevent data interference between cards. Therefore, the reader can "simultaneously" handle multiple contactless IC cards, improving the parallelism of the application.
