Smart card technology is widely used for security and access control, financial transactions, medical records, loyalty programs, toll and vending systems, enterprise authentication, and much more where secure data exchange is essential. Contact smart cards feature a chip area with contact pads that, when inserted into the Bravour® Smart Card Reader, authenticate the user and securely transfer information between the card and the host computer. Already extensively adopted in Europe and Asia — and growing rapidly in North and South America — smart cards provide a far more reliable, tamper-resistant, and flexible solution compared to outdated barcode or magnetic stripe IDs.
