Smart Cards use a serial interface and receives their power from external sources like a card reader. The processor uses a limited instruction set for applications such as cryptography. It was invented in the late 60's but was popularised by a string of inventions from Roland Moreno in 1974. In the year 2000 it was estimated that there were over 3 billion cards in circulation worldwide.
