CryptoMate
Frustrated by network breaches like Trojan program attack, credential/password leakage,
legitimate session hijacking, or all of the above? It is time for a CryptoMate.
The CryptoMate (ACOS5-CTM) is a 2-in-1 USB token, combining seamlessly the security of a cryptographic smart card chip
and the convenience of a USB connector. It is always ready to be plugged into the USB port of any workstations, either
for logon window or pay online. Everything is well prepared for you. You will never get into the trouble of seeking
inter-operable smart card and smart card reader!
The CryptoMate is among the securest and lightest cryptographic USB tokens in the world. The built-in ACOS5 chip (32K bytes EEPROM)
complies with the most stringent international standards, like ISO 7816 -3,-4-8,-9 and possess the most reliable encrypting capabilities
like DES, 3DES, AES, and RSA. Though rich in features, it is merely 10 grams in weight, which is even lighter than a coin. You can
pocket and use it conveniently anywhere you like.
Moreover, the CryptoMate is specially designed for PKI-based (Public Key Infrastructure) applications. Obviously,
smart card technology combines with public key security system does provide a greater level of protection against
hackers than a standalone public key system. All sensitive credentials and private keys are stored inside the smart
card but not the vulnerable computer. As they never leave the token, ultimate security is reached.
Middleware
If you want to use CryptoMate for cryptographic applications like PKI with your own certificates, then you need an applicable middleware
for the card. For MS-CAPI applications you need a cryptographic service provider (CSP), for all other applications
(Mozilla, Netscape) you need a PKCS#11. ACS is offering these two types of middleware.
