  • What is SAM (Secure Access Module)?

    The SAM or Secure Access Module is an additional feature in a Smart Card Reader that can enhance the level of security in your smart card-based application. Normally card authentication is implemented in the PC or application. However with the presence of a SAM, mutual authentication can be implemented between card and reader which means that the PC will not perform the authentication. And since authentication will be card-to-reader or reader–to-card, the system becomes more secure and less prone to hacking.
