Smart Card defines the physical and electrical protocols for a plastic
chip card used to store data. A Smart Card can hold much more data then
via a simple magnetic strip. A Smart card will either have an embedded
memory chip to store data, or an embedded microprocessor to interact
during a transaction. Smart Card uses normal TTL switching levels. Smart
Card come in two different interface types; a contact type and a
contactless type. The contact-less type uses an embedded antenna. The
contact type has an 8-pin flat connector embedded on the top of the
card.
Smart Cards are also referred to by other names depending upon its
application:
UICC Card
[Universal Integrated Circuit Card], Smart Card used in mobile
phones.
SIM Card
[Subscriber Identity Module], the type of application running on a UICC
Smart Card.

A Smart card may also be called, Smartcards, chip cards, or integrated circuit (IC) cards
