Increasingly people carry a number of cards, ranging from bank cards and credit cards  to prepaid travel cards. Many of these are integrated circuit (IC) cards. These are embedded with IC chips that can store large quantities of information. BSI’s European standards give recommendations on the security issues relating to the use of IC cards and terminals.
