About Smart Cards
Smart cards are portable credit-card shaped devices with internal integrated circuits. The top surface of
the smart card usually contains an embedded processor under the gold contact pad. The combination of
the small size and integrated circuits make smart cards valuable tools for security, data storage, and
special programs. Using smart cards can improve system security by combining something a user has (the
smart card) with something only the user should know (a PIN) to provide more secure user-authentication
than passwords alone.
Installing a Smart Card
You can install a smart card in the computer while the computer is running. The computer automatically
detects the card.
To install a smart card:
1. Hold the card so that the gold contact pad is facing upward and pointing toward the smart card
