Smart Card Manufacturing

Demand for the increased protection of personal data has caused a
significant rise in the profile of smart cards, and this will
continue to be a major growth area with secure mobile communication
and e-commerce applications . An understanding of the structure and
manufacturing of smart cards is key to the continued development of
intelligent systems. First published in German, Haghiri and
Tarantino have produced the standard reference on the structure of
smart cards and the technologies for embedding chips into smart
cards. Detailed coverage of the practicalities and mechanics of
smart card manufacture will appeal to a range of software
developers, practitioners and students from within the electronics,
security, and communications arenas.
