A smart card is a plastic card that contains a circuit, including a microprocessor and memory chip, designed to process data. This makes it ideal for secure transaction, authentication, identification, telecommunication, and other purposes.

Smart cards are divided according to the interaction method by which they exchange, delete, and manipulate data. Data exchange is done with the help of a reader or sensor that uses a magnetic field to activate the microprocessor of the chip.

Advancing the technology means reducing time consumption and enhancing the efficiency of financial transactions and information exchange. A unique token ID is set for every smart card, which helps in authentication and money transfer.
