So far, I have only read the following pages:
1. http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/kesab-634846-seminar-on-smart-card/
2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_card#Functionality
3. http://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~dinoj/smartcard/applications.html
4. http://www.smartcardbasics.com/
5. http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Practices/Smart-Cards-An-Introduction/1/
6. http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/621017/description#description

Next target would be books found on the main library:
1. Microcontroller-based doorlock system using GSM sim as smart card id by Revvelta, Franz Leonard Cadiz
2. Microcontroller-based smart card operated vending machine by Cayos, Carlo Doctor

Do expect a summary of these books in the next post. Merci beaucoup!
