smart card
Processor in wallet
A smart card is a plastic card embedded with a microprocessor chip that stores and processes data.
Unlike magnetic stripe cards, smart cards can perform computations and store more information securely.
They're used for credit cards, ID badges, transit passes, and SIM cards in phones: Tap your smart card to enter the building.
