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 PIN is needed to gain access to the contents of the microchip. For more information about smart
card security features, see Help and Support. From the Start screen, type h, and then select Help
