Applications of Smart Card
Technology .
A smart card is a hardware capable of performing
operations such as key pair generation with
minimum power consumption in the least possible
time duration. The secure key pairs are capable
of handling attacks of a critical and advanced
nature of blockchain applications. Smart card
technology protects private keys inside hard re
with tamper- resistant hardware security and
interaction restricted to a limited set of
commands and responses, which indirectly
increases the overall security of blockchain
applications. It provides straightforward
access to cryptographic keys. The smart card can
be a simple card, USB device, mobile device,
microSD, an embedded secure element chip, or a
wearable device. These devices enable easy,
portable, user-controlled access to the keys for
performing Blockchain transactions. They
provide Blockchain applications a secure platform
and an established, standardized security
evaluation and certification program for
protecting keys.
