!!! Overview
A card that contains a "chip".

[{$pagename}]s include:
* EMV Chip Card
* [Smart Card]
* [Integrated Circuit Card] ([ICC])
* [Contact Chip Card]
* [Contactless Chip Card]
* [Hybrid Card]
* or any pocket-sized card that has embedded integrated circuits.

[{$pagename}] are typically made of plastic but they have been manufactured reusable [{$pagename}] made from paper.

[{$pagename}] can be either [Contact Chip Card] and or [Contactless Chip Card]. 

[{$pagename}] can be used to provide 
* [Digital Identity]
* [authentication]
* data storage
* application processing
* strong security authentication

Typically the "chip" device that includes an embedded secure integrated circuit that can be either a secure microcontroller or equivalent intelligence with internal memory or a secure memory chip alone.

!! [Point of Sale]
For [POS] The card connects to a [POS Terminal] with either as [Contact Chip Card] (direct physical contact) or with [Contactless Chip Card] which uses radio frequency interface. 

With an embedded microcontroller, [{$pagename}] have the unique ability to securely store of data, carry out their own on-card functions (e.g., [Cryptography] and [Mutual Authentication]) and interact intelligently with a [POS Terminal]. All [EMV] cards are chip cards.

Some variations are:
* [Contact Chip Card] 
* [Contactless Chip Card]
