Smart Cards
There are two main types of Smart or Common Access Cards (CAC):
1. Enclosed Smart Cards — These cards have a contact area with many gold plated connection pads.
When inserted into a card reader, the information from the chip can be read and written
The Smart Card can be fully inserted, allowing the protective hinged door to be closed. Insert the
card into the smart card slot with the gold contact pad facing upward and pointing toward the smart
card slot. Slide the card into the slot until it is fully seated in its connector.
2.
These cards require only close proximity to an antenna of a card reader to complete transactions.

Contact less Smart Cards — These cards do not require any physical contact with the reader.
The chip communicates with the card reader through RFID (DWRFID1302) induction technology
