Access Control Systems Smart Credentials
There are two types of smart cards: contact and contactless. Both types have an embedded microprocessor and memory. The smart card differs from the proximity card in that the microchip in the proximity card has only one function: to provide the reader with the card's identification number. Smart cards allow the access control system to save user information on a credential carried by the user rather than requiring more memory on each controller.
