What are the commonly used cards on the market? What are the advantages of IC card compared with other cards?

Time:2021-03-06 11:06:53


In daily work and life, you will always come into contact with various types of cards, which have a variety of uses and bring a lot of convenience to life. From the appearance point of view, these small cards are not very different, but in actual purchases, they still need to be purchased according to different applications. At present, the cards used in information processing are mainly divided into two categories: non-chip and chip cards. Let's learn about the differences between them with RZX.
 
Common non-chip cards on the market mainly include magnetic stripe cards, barcode cards, scratch cards, etc.
 
Chip cards are also collectively referred to as IC cards. There are a wide selection of chip models. The IC card is small and light, and is easy to carry; the storage capacity is large, the CPU card contains a microprocessor, and the memory can be divided into several application areas, which is convenient for one card to be used for multiple purposes and convenient for storage; Cards are divided into contact cards and non-contact cards. Contact cards are divided into storage IC (Intergrated Circuit) cards, logic encryption cards and memory cards with CPU (smart cards, CPU cards); contactless cards are mainly radio frequency cards.
 
What are the advantages of IC card compared with other cards?
 
(1) Large storage capacity: There are RAM, ROM, EEPROM and other memories inside, and the capacity can reach several megabits, which can store text, sound, graphics, images and other information
 
(2) Strong anti-interference ability and long data storage time.
 
(3) High security: The IC card implements its strategy from several aspects such as hardware and software, and can control the access characteristics of different areas in the card. The encrypted IC card itself has a password. If you try to access it illegally, the card will self-destruct and cannot be read or written.
 
(4) Low requirements on the network: The reliability of the IC card makes the real-time requirements of the computer network in the application environment small, which conforms to the current national conditions, and is conducive to the application in the environment with low network quality.
 
Comparison of IC card and magnetic card:
 
(1) High security;
 
(2) The storage capacity of the IC card is large, which is convenient for application and storage.
 
(3) The IC card is anti-magnetic, anti-static to a certain strength, has strong anti-interference ability, and has higher reliability than magnetic cards. Generally, it can be read and written more than 100,000 times and can be used for a long time.
 
(4) The IC card reading and writing equipment is simpler and more reliable than the magnetic card reading and writing equipment, the cost is lower, it is easy to promote, and the maintenance is convenient.
 
As people demand for the convenience of smart life, the original magnetic stripe cards and barcode cards that are easy to be copied because of their low cost have been gradually replaced by IC cards, CPU cards, and radio frequency cards. In recent years, CPU chip cards have become more unique because of their large capacity. Storage and non-recoverability are deeply loved by users.
