Smart Cards are plastic cards which consist of integrated circuitry inside which allows them to store data. These cards are used everywhere nowadays, from transportation<\/em> to banking<\/em>, each sector has their own specific use for these cards. For example, Metro cards, Credit\/Debit Cards, Security based Identity cards etc.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How Smart Card Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Smart Card like a debit card is used to configure your identity<\/span> with the help of a pin or password and then give you the access to your accounts.<\/p>\n

There are basically two kinds of smart cards, Contact based like Debit Cards, Credit Cards etc. and Contactless Smart cards<\/strong><\/em> which don\u2019t require any contact with the access control instead they use RFID technology<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In these cases however your pin or any other signature of your identity is used to tap the information at a remote server. And there is a minute chance that your digital signature<\/strong><\/a> can be compromised.<\/p>\n

Now to reduce the slightest chances of that happening, Biometric Smart Cards are being developed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is a Biometric Smart Card?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Like any smart card, this card will also store data but the data stored<\/span> on this card will be much more significant. Your information will be stored on the card instead of any remote server,<\/strong> which you can only be accessed using biometric access control<\/strong><\/a>. In the complete process, your biometric signature will not leave the card and hence there is no such threat of duplication or any other security breach.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Like any other Biometric devices<\/strong><\/a>, these Biometric Smart Cards use Fingerprints and IRIS to authenticate an individual. These smart cards have a wide range of uses in different sectors. Biometrics is increasingly being used to authenticate payments, transactions through an individual\u2019s account using a biometric smart card.<\/p>\n

These Biometric Smart Cards<\/strong> are very important to make the identification<\/em> and authentication<\/em> process more secure and airtight. A lot of people are worried about the identity theft and hence avoid using smart cards.<\/p>\n

But with the integration of a layer of biometric security<\/strong>, the complete process can be more trustworthy and secure for the users.<\/p>\n

Star Link\u00a0India<\/strong> is one of India\u2019s leading manufacturers of Biometric Devices<\/em><\/strong><\/a> for various sectors like Security, Attendance, Finance, Banking etc. In order to achieve this, we have set up a team of some highly qualified professionals, who work tirelessly to bring up something creative and technically advanced.<\/p>\n
