A smart card system for access control uses contactless smart cards for authenticating users. Each card will have a microchip capable of storing the unique identification numbers of the users. The users have to present the card at the reader, and the reader verifies the credentials to allow or deny access. Smart card access control systems are more secure and flexible compared to RFID card based systems.
