1) Yes
2) There seem to be lots of types of those cards: with contacts and contactless, with RAM, ROM or µP... So I suppose there are a lot of different interfaces. I suppose you need a dedicated device driver for the card in question and for the kind of card adapter you intend to use. Maybe there are standard adapters (e.g. connected via USB) that cam read some types of cards and maybe Linux device drivers for those are already available.

Thank you Michael, What I was thinking is how to construct a secure server by a simple and customised Linux. Therefore it needs a smart card reader, crypto modules and maybe network modules besides the simple kernel. Is there a commercial product constructed this way?

The AT91RM9200DK has a smart card reader on it. It was recently replaced by the AT91RM9200EK without the smartcard reader but you may be able to get hold of some boards anyway. /Ulf
