Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0664520A2] The card and its read/write unit are both distinguished by a special electronic key which is imprinted on the card by its manufacturer and can be recognised by an electronic decryption device in the user's read/write unit. The latter has an electrically programmable read-only memory which is programmed by its manufacturer to perform the decryption. A card programmed with a password is compatible with a read/write unit having the corresp. software, but will be rejected by any other unit.
