Typically user credentials including a cryptographic signing key.  The
key has to be encapsulated in the card so it can't be copied.  It's
instead used to sign a challenge presented by an external device.  For
example, smart cards are used to authenticate some cable TV set-top
boxes.  If you could duplicate a card, you could use the second one to
watch cable shows without paying.

There was a huge technical arms race between cable TV companies and
cable pirates where pirates developed more and more sophisticated ways
to copy cards, and card manufacturers designed progressively fancier
countermeasures.  Smart cards now have all kinds of obfuscation and
tamper-resisting features to prevent extraction of the keys in the card.
