How SMART CARDS provide solutions to software-based security problems

HOW IS A SMART CARD SECURE?

	It’s like a safe—separate from your computer—and you can put your network identity into it.
	By calculating keys and sign-ons, it’s active in the security area. (ATM cards and drivers’ licenses are passive.)
	It has hundreds of security features, such as internal randomization of data paths, and it cannot be scanned by an electron microscope.
	The communication channels in and out of the smart card are protected, as are the computations done inside it.
