Las tarjetas inteligentes (llamadas también tarjetas chip y en inglés Smart Cards) suponen una tecnogía esencial en Telecomunicaciones, entorno en el que los operadores móviles GSM las emplean como Módulo de Identificación del Subscriptor (SIM: Subscriber Identification Module), en Banca, en donde son la base de tarjetas securizadas para pagos en crédito (EMV: Europay, Visa, Mastercard) y monedero para pequeños importes (CEPS: Common Electronic Purse Specification), y en Certificación Digital donde constituyen Dispositivos Seguros de Creación de Firma (SSCD Secure Signature-Creation Device).
