1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving an authentication request by a security card;
performing an authentication operation by the security card, the authentication operation to authenticate a user over a network with a verification server;
displaying secure information through an electronic ink display of the security card in response to the authentication operation being successful;
displaying interactive elements enabling navigation of information on the security card through a user interface of the security card, wherein the user interface is a touch sensitive pad;
transferring a user authorized data to a database over the network from the security card; and
updating data on the security card received from the database over the network.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for an identity card with improved security features. The identity card can have a programmable display. The display can be used to display sensitive data under defined circumstances. The card may have an interactive interface to receive input from a user. The card may also have a input/output interface to allow the exchange of data from the card to an external device. These elements can be used together to give a holder of a card control over the access to the data in the card and thwart counterfeiting and identity theft.
