Microprocessor cards, also commonly referred to as smart cards, are chip cards that usually have a microprocessor and their own operating system, as well as volatile memory (RAM) and non-volatile data memory (EEPROM).
This complex structure has the advantage that smart cards are “autonomous” and can comprehensively protect their data from external access. The most successful smart cards are debit and credit cards. High-quality microprocessor cards are used here, as only these guarantee maximum security. Smart cards, such as For example, SafeNet IDPrime cards are also used for computer authentication.

The cards are therefore ideal for use as membership cards or employee ID cards .
