Smart cards are credit card size, and they are basically used for 
identification.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_card

My laptop has such a device, but I have not managed to make it work 
under Linux (my laptop is Linux only). In Spain we have oficial identity 
cards with a chip. Also some business use them to authorize or not a 
user on a computer. They can also be used as encryption keys.

The are not SD Cards.
