Your computer may have a smart card reader.
With an embedded microcontroller, smart cards have the unique ability to store large
amounts of data, carry out their own on-card functions (e.g., encryption and mutual
authentication), and interact intelligently with a smart card reader.
To insert a smart card:
1. Locate the smart card slot.
2. Slide the smart card, with its label and embedded computer chip facing up into
the slot.
3. When a new card is seated, use the third-party smart card software to allow
your computer to read it.
To remove a smart card:
1. Make sure that the third-party smart card software is not accessing the smart
card.
2. Pull the card out of the slot.
