To understand these arguments, we will look at the history, types and uses of smart cards and how they may be vulnerable. Since smart cards were never designed to be standalone systems, we will look at some of the applications that have incorporated smart cards into their design to see how they work, potential motivation for why they might be threatened, and review some of the documented attacks. Next we will look at the how to do the cost/benefit analysis of incorporating smart cards. At the end we will determine how secure smart cards really are based on the analysis in the rest of this paper.
