Abstract
A reader for smart IC cards which control the performance of their own transaction. The reader includes devices which alternately generate, for the purpose of being sent to a connected smart IC card, on the one hand, requests for instructions and data and, on the other hand, report messages regarding the execution of instructions received previously from the smart IC card. This reader is not specialized for a specific type of card and is suitable for a variety of IC cards designed for different types of transactions.
