Wireless MAXg USB Adapter: User Guide
smart card
Smart cards are small portable credit-card shaped
devices with internal integrated circuits (ICs). The
combination of the small size and IC make them
valuable tools for security, data storage, and special
applications. The use of smart cards can improve user
security by combining something a user has (the smart
card) with something only the user should know (a PIN)
to provide two-factor security that is more secure than
passwords alone.
