A smart card can carry all > kinds of information, such as medical data, identification data > etc etc. Information _can_ be stored on a dumb card if the magnetic strip is rewritten (like some subway fare cards). A smart card contains a computer. That means it can do encryption and other calculations. (For re-writable dumb cards, there's no protection for the information; any card reader could read it or duplicate it. A smart card can demand a password from the card reader (and in turn from the user) before letting any information out.)) Daniel
