A typical SIM card (mini-SIM with micro-SIM cutout) T-Mobile nano-SIM card with NFC capabilities in the SIM tray of an iPhone 6s cell phone A SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is an integrated circuit (IC) intended to securely store an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) number and its related key, which are used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephone ...
A nano sim used in mobile phones. One of the key features of GSM is the Subscriber Identity Module, commonly known as a SIM card. The SIM is a detachable smart card [2] containing a user's subscription information and phone book. This allows users to retain their information after switching handsets.
A card reader is a data input device that reads data from a card-shaped storage medium and provides the data to a computer. Card readers can acquire data from a card via a number of methods, including: optical scanning of printed text or barcodes or holes on punched cards, electrical signals from connections made or interrupted by a card's punched holes or embedded circuitry, or electronic ...
Punched card input/output. A computer punched card reader or just computer card reader is a computer input device used to read computer programs in either source or executable form and data from punched cards. A computer card punch is a computer output device that punches holes in cards. Sometimes computer punch card readers were combined with ...
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a form of SIM card that is embedded directly into a device. Instead of an integrated circuit located on a removable SIM card, typically made of PVC, an eSIM consists of software installed onto a eUICC chip permanently attached to a device. If the eSIM is eUICC-compatible, it can be re-programmed with new SIM ...
A smart card (SC), chip card, or integrated circuit card (ICC or IC card), is a card used to control access to a resource. It is typically a plastic credit card-sized card with an embedded integrated circuit (IC) chip. [1] Many smart cards include a pattern of metal contacts to electrically connect to the internal chip.
CCID (chip card interface device) protocol is a USB protocol that allows a smartcard to be connected to a computer via a card reader using a standard USB interface, without the need for each manufacturer of smartcards to provide its own reader or protocol. [1] This allows the smartcard to be used as a security token for authentication and data ...
A SIMM (single in-line memory module) is a type of memory module used in computers from the early 1980s to the early 2000s. It is a printed circuit board on which has random-access memory attached to one or both sides. [1] It differs from a dual in-line memory module (DIMM), the most predominant form of memory module since the late 1990s, in ...
