Many wallets today are cluttered with several cards, cash and more. Keeping track of all these items can be difficult. The electronic wallet (eWallet) will provide all of the functions of today’s wallet on one convenient smart card eliminating the need for several cards. The eWallet will also provides numerous security features not available to regular wallet carriers. Identification is required for every credit card transaction and the card is equipped with a disabling device if the card should be tampered with. These increased security measures and the convenience make this a worthwhile project. The items proposed in this chapter will give detailed descriptions of how to design this eWallet system.
