If you're professionally seriously interested, I recommend talking to one of the serious pros, such as who really know their stuff. A good example would be looking at PKCS#11-related docs, Entrust implementation docs, the Javacard specifications, how Javacards differ from other implementations, docs on 'Open Platform', types of card readers (class 1 through class 4, what is 'middleware', how hardware key storage works, etc.) A lot of card-related documentation and information is strongly vendor-specific, poorly documented and, to be honest, largely irrelevant for someone who wants to learn about it in a not-too-hardcore manner. The best way to learn is to latch onto someone who really knows their stuff (which is what I did on a previous project.) If you don't have that luxury, start looking at vendor pages (Schlumberger, ActivCard, Siemens, Utimaco, Gemplus, etc.) and chipset manufacturers (Infineon, Sagem or Giesecke & Devrient for example.) Depending on how far down you want to dig (do you want to learn about applications? Circuit design? Security issues?) you should probably browse around related manufacturers' pages and related newsgroups.
