A smart card is a plastic card with an
embedded microprocessor and memory. It can
store, for example, personal data,
identification, and bank-account details, to
enable it to be used as a credit or debit
card. The card can be loaded with credits,
which are then spent electronically, and
reloaded as needed. Possible other uses range
from hotel door `keys' to passports.
