Abstract

Digitization is the process of converting information into a digital format. The economy that is based on digital computing technologies is known as Digital Economy. The digital economy is also sometimes called the Internet Economy or Web Economy. Right now, in most of the countries, inside the people's wallet, they probably have a couple of credit cards, an identification card, automatic teller machine cards (ATM card) and maybe a few other plastic cards. Without realizing it, these plastic cards have become a very important part of their life. Currently smart cards can be seen in the transportation, telecommunication and retail sectors. In this paper we are providing the combination of digitization and digital economy and aim to propose designing and implementation of a Student Card System for higher educational institutes using smart card technology. Smart card is a card which contains a barcode which is nothing but a unique card that is assigned to the student. A barcode is a series of alternating dark and light stripes that are read by an optical scanner. It is an automatic identification technology. A barcode is an optical, machine-readable, representation of data the data usually describes something about the object that carries the barcode. The student smart card can be used to ease the work of students. This card is useful for the students in places like library, canteen, stationary shops and online storage of important documents. From there we can see the potential and power of smart cards their versatility and usability.
