ACOS5 is an advanced cryptographic smart card that fully complies with ISO 7816-1/2/3/4/8/9. It is specially designed for public-key based applications and RSA public-key cryptographic operations, which is essential in smart card PKI, digital signature and high level security requirements. ACOS5 provides a 32KB EEPROM for secure data storage. Typical PKI applications include payment system, e-banking, e-commerce, stock trading, network security, corporate identity, Microsoft windows logon, and any other application that uses CSP and PKCS#11 middleware layers.

Furthermore, the ACOS5 Cryptographic Smart Card Software Development Kit (ACOS5 SDK) is designed for professional developers who are interested in developing cryptographic PKI applications that support ACOS5 Cryptographic Smart Cards. With the use of the kit, applications can be developed over the supplied PKCS#11 or CSP, and this development is facilitated by ACS’s unique Card Tool that allows one to send direct commands to any PC/SC-compliant smart card readers and cards. Many benefits may be reaped from utilizing this SDK, among them being reduced investment of time and cost to R&D and Marketing.

The development kit is now priced at only US$119.
