Get ready for the future with the IOGEAR USB
Smart Card Reader. Smart Card readers are used as a communications
medium between the smart card and a host (e.g. a computer, a
point-of-sale terminal). A Smart Card is a small portable
credit-card shaped pocket-sized card with embedded integrated
circuits or IC chips which can process data. The combination of the
small size and IC make them a valuable tool for security, data
storage, and other special applications. The use of Smart Cards can
improve user security by combining something a user has (the smart
card) with something only the user should know (a PIN), this
provides two factor security that is more secure than passwords
alone. The traditional credit card uses a magnetic-strip which
stores a very small amount of information and has no processing
capability of its own. Smart Cards are the next generation of
secure and user friendly identification, authentication & data
storage solution. The IOGEAR USB Smart Card Reader uses a contact
system where the card must be swiped through the card reader; this
type of reader is less prone to misalignment and eliminates the
possibility of being misread. Smart Cards are the next step in
convenience and security. GSR202 is listed on the Approved Product
List and is TAA compliant product.
