| (I) A credit-card sized device containing one or more integrated
circuit chips, which perform the functions of a computer's central
processor, memory, and input/output interface. (See: PC card.)
(C) Sometimes this term is used rather strictly to mean a card
that closely conforms to the dimensions and appearance of the kind
of plastic credit card issued by banks and merchants. At other
times, the term is used loosely to include cards that are larger
than credit cards, especially cards that are thicker, such as PC
cards.
(C) A "smart token" is a device that conforms to the definition of
smart card except that rather than having standard credit card
dimensions, the token is packaged in some other form, such as a
dog tag or door key shape.
