What's the deal with Smart Card authentication?

Sorry if this should go in Hardware but:

I noticed XP network config panels, and Jag config (somewhere) has the ability to use SmartCard authentication.

What is this exactly? I know what a SC is, so I presume this means you need a SC reader or a BlueTooth enabled system (to read the SC info from, say, your mobile phone?)?

Very curious, not useful to me but curious :)

Thanks!
