摘要

This USB memory key casing has an accessory housing (6) for accommodating a chip microcard (7) which is independent of the electronic components (4, 5) of the USB memory key. It provides the possessor of a USB key and of a chip microcard (7) with a convenient place to accommodate the chip microcard (7). It also makes it possible to associate, within one and the same package, although they are still separable, a smart chip microcard and an electronic key that are dedicated to transactions pertaining to one and the same bank service or the like, one by way of a specialized reading terminal attached to the computing system of the service provider and the other by way of a host electronic apparatus linked to the internet network.
