Smart
Smart ID is a virtual smart card. It can be used in both PKI and non-PKI environments. Smart ID’s secure RSA 1024-bit and 2048-bit key operations enable seamless integration into Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) architectures. Applications that are not PKI-based can easily use the API that Smart ID offers.
Smart ID is as smart as physical smart card.
Secure
Smart ID can hold users’ personal credentials, such as private keys, passwords, digital certificates and biometrics, inside the protected environment of the internal file system. Users’ private keys never leave the virtual card.
Smart ID is protected by several advanced technologies, Device-Locking, Anti-Tampering and Digital Shield. The virtual smart card can be securely locked to its hosting device such as your computer hard disk or USB key, preventing it from being stolen or copied. The data stored in the virtual smart card is digitally shielded so that is can not be deciphered, and the software itself is resistant to reverse engineering.
Smart ID offers more protection than physical smart card.
Portable
Smart ID can be securely stored on multiple devices including computer hard disks, USB keys, PDAs and smart phones.
Smart ID is as portable as plastic smart card.
Cost Effective
Smart ID is cost-effective. The virtual smart card can be easily downloaded and installed onto user’s devices, saving the expense of deploying new hardware such as the plastic card. It is ideal for your corporate network online business security needs.
Smart ID costs a fraction of the expense of plastic smart card.
