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.

CryptoMate (ACOS5-CTM) is a 2-in-1 USB token, which seamlessly combines 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 workstation, either for Windows logon or online payment.  It gets rid of the hassle of having to look for an interoperable smart card and reader!

The CryptoMate USB PKI Token is among the securest and lightest cryptographic USB tokens in the world. Its built-in ACOS5 chip (32K bytes EEPROM) complies with the most stringent international standards, like ISO 7816-1/2/3/4/8/9, and possesses the most reliable encrypting capabilities such as DES, 3DES, AES, and RSA. Though rich in features, it is merely 6 grams in weight, which makes it even lighter than a coin.  It is perfect for portable and convenient use anywhere and anytime!

Moreover, CryptoMate is specially designed for PKI-based (Public Key Infrastructure) applications. This integration of the smart card technology with the public key security system provides a greater level of protection against hackers than a standalone public key system does. All sensitive credentials and private keys remain in the token as they are stored in the smart card and not in the computer, thus letting one achieve ultimate security.

Middleware
ACS offers two types of middleware that each allows customers to use CryptoMate for cryptographic applications with their own certificates. The cryptographic service provider (CSP) is suited for MS-CAPI applications, while PKCS#11 is suited for all other applications such as Mozilla and Netscape.
