EMV
Chip Cards
A device that includes an embedded
secure integrated circuit that can be
either a secure microcontroller or
equivalent intelligence with internal
memory or a secure memory chip alone.
The card connects to a reader with
direct physical contact or with a remote
contactless radio frequency interface.
With an embedded microcontroller, chip
cards have the unique ability to
securely store large amounts of data,
carry out their own on-card functions
(e.g., encryption and mutual
authentication) and interact
intelligently with a card reader.
