Memory cards
Memory cards are the simples type of smartcard. Memory
cards only have some amount of memory inside the card and this memory can be
normally read and written. There is normally nothing relly intelligne inside
those cards. Typically the memory inside this kind of cards is EPROM, EEPROM
or FLASH memory. This card type is very widely used as telehone cards (telecards).
Many countries use a telecard system which is very close to the first
smartcard telephone system in use in France.

Electronic
Telephone Cards: How to make your own! article in Phrack magazine, read
also the second
part of the article for sourcode and other interresting stuff. Note: My
e-mail address is mentioned in this article, but I have not written the
article or any of the card emulation software. I have only written some part
of the csrd reading program. On programs with this article contact Phrack
Magazine instead of me because I can't help in the questions about this
article. According some feedback this plan doesn't work any more (still has
some informational value though).

Smartcards
Here you can find information on real smartcards which
have a real microprocessor inside the card. There have been many different
small microprocessors used inside smartcards including 8031/51 variants, PIC
microcontrollers and some pecial microprocessors just designed for smartcard
applications. Very many smartcards communicate using the protocols
standardized in ISO 7816 standard.
