If frustrated by network breaches like Trojan program attack or credential/password leakage, you are recommended to use "CryptoMate" from ACS. The CryptoMate 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 workstation, for logon window, payment online, etc. Everything is well prepared for you.

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 possesses the most reliable encrypting capabilities like DES, 3DES, AES, and RSA. Though rich in features, it weighs only 10 grams, same as a Euro 2 coin. It can be quickly used with PKCS#11- & CSP- compliant software like Netscape, Mozilla, Internet Explorer and Outlook applications.

Features and applications:

• High user memory: 32K Bytes of EEPROM
• Supports ISO7816 Part 4 file structures: Transparent, Linear Fixed, Linear Variable, Cyclic
• Supports Mutual Authentication with Session Key generation
• Multiple cryptographic algorithms: DES (ECB, CBC), 3DES (ECB, CBC), MAC, SHA-1, AES-128, RSA-512, 1024, and 2048
• On-board RSA processor to support fast key generation, signature and encryption
• Secure messaging to ensure confidentiality between the token and the application
• Good for e-Commerce, network security, corporate identity, file and disk cryptography, Microsoft Windows and network logon and others
