In all three modes, the CAP reader asks the EMV card to output a data packet that confirms the cancellation of a fictitious EMV payment transaction, which involves the details entered by the user. This confirmation message contains a message authentication code (typically CBC-MAC / Triple DES ) that is generated with the help of a card-specific ...

[2] [3] The brand and company was established by Zhang Qingsen in 2012, and specialises in USB hardware such as cables and AC adapters, as well as other categories of consumer electronics such as audio equipment and mobile accessories.
CCID (chip card interface device) protocol is a USB protocol that allows a smartcard to be connected to a computer via a card reader using a standard USB interface, without the need for each manufacturer of smartcards to provide its own reader or protocol. [1]
A card reader is a data input device that reads data from a card-shaped storage medium and provides the data to a computer. Card readers can acquire data from a card via a number of methods, including: optical scanning of printed text or barcodes or holes on punched cards, electrical signals from connections made or interrupted by a card's punched holes or embedded circuitry, or electronic ...
Most card readers also offer write capability, and together with the card, this can function as a pen drive. Some printers and Smartphones have a built-in card reader, as do many laptops and the majority of Tablet computers. A multi card reader is used for communication with more than one type of flash memory card. Multi card readers do not ...
When a card is presented to the reader, the reader's electrical field excites a coil in the card. The coil charges a capacitor and in turn powers an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit outputs the card number to the coil which transmits it to the reader. The transmission of the card number happens in the clear—it is not encrypted.
This may not be possible with use of such cards when abroad. [citation needed] Multiple cards detection When two or more contactless cards are in close proximity the system may have difficulty determining which card is intended to be used. The card-reader may charge the incorrect card or reject both. [13]
A proximity card or prox card [1] also known as a key card or keycard is a contactless smart card which can be read without inserting it into a reader device, as required by earlier magnetic stripe cards such as credit cards and contact type smart cards. [2] The proximity cards are part of the contactless card technologies.
