Using smart cards (select models only)
NOTE: The term smart card is used throughout this chapter to refer to both smart cards and Java™
Cards.
A smart card is a credit card–sized accessory that carries a microchip containing memory and a
microprocessor. Like personal computers, smart cards have an operating system to manage input and
output, and they include security features to protect against tampering. Industry-standard smart cards
are used with the smart card reader (select models only).
A personal identification number (PIN) is needed to gain access to the contents of the microchip. For
more information about smart card security features, refer to Help and Support.
NOTE: Your computer may look slightly different from the illustrations in this chapter.
