2. Near-field communication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-field_communication

   This chip is commonly found in smartphones and other NFC devices. Near-field communication (NFC) is a set of communication protocols that enables communication between two electronic devices over a distance of 4 centimetres (1.6 in) or less. [ 1 ] NFC offers a low-speed connection through a simple setup that can be used for the bootstrapping of ...

3. SIM Application Toolkit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_Application_Toolkit

   SIM Application Toolkit. SIM Application Toolkit (STK) is a standard of the GSM system which enables the subscriber identity module (SIM card) to initiate actions which can be used for various value-added services. [1] Similar standards exist for other network and card systems, with the USIM Application Toolkit (USAT) for USIMs used by newer ...

4. CCID (protocol) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCID_(protocol)

   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 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 ...

6. ISO/IEC 7816 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_7816

   ISO/IEC 7816 is an international standard related to electronic identification cards with contacts, especially smart cards, and more recently, contactless mobile devices, managed jointly by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It is developed by ISO/IEC JTC 1 (Joint ...

7. eSIM - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESIM

   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 an eUICC chip permanently attached to a device. If the eSIM is eUICC-compatible, it can be re-programmed with new SIM information.

8. Host card emulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host_card_emulation

   Host card emulation (HCE) is the software architecture that provides exact virtual representation of various electronic identity (access, transit and banking) cards using only software. Prior to the HCE architecture, near field communication (NFC) transactions were mainly carried out using hardware-based secure elements .

9. Card reader - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_reader

   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 ...
