• How to create an encrypted portable volume using ACOS5 and ACR100?

  The ACR100 SIMFlash (CCID) is a reliable and cost-effective smart card reader for security-related applications. It is a USB full-speed plug-in card reader that, with the paired mass storage, enables you to do more than simply back up and manage your SIM card information on the PC. It supports most memory cards, MCU cards with T=0 and T=1 protocols, and GSM cards conforming to Spec 11.11 The ACR100 SIMFlash (CCID) also has a built-in 1-GB flash memory. Designed both to access SIM cards and for data or application storage, it is ideal for GSM solutions such as GSM management software and VoIP applications, electronic payment systems, e-commerce, home banking, transportation, and computer/network access. Designed both to access SIM cards and for data or application storage, it is ideal for GSM solutions such as GSM management software and VoIP applications, electronic payment systems, e-commerce, home banking, transportation, and computer/network access (Figure 1). Figure 1: ACR100 Reader With the the use of an ACR100, a sim-sized ACOS5 and TrueCrypt. You can create an Encrypted Portable Volume. The Encryption Key (that decrypts the Encrypted Volume) is stored in the sim-sized ACOS5 Card and the Encrypted Volume itself is stored in the ACR100. Follow the steps below to Create an Encrypted, Portable Volume: Insert your sim-sized ACOS5 card in the ACR100 Reader Slot. Insert your ACR100 (preferably ACR100F CCID) to an empty USB slot. The system should automatically detect the Removable Media and the Smart Card reader at once. Initialize the sim-sized ACOS5 card using the ACOS5 Initialization Tool. The ACOS5 Initialization Tool should detect the ACR100 Smart Card Reader as "    CCID USB Reader x" (Figure 2). Figure 2: ACR100 Reader in ACOS5 Initialization Tool After successfully initializing your ACOS5 Card. You can optionally run Admin Tool to change the Token Name. Changing the Token Name can be useful to easily identify which token belongs to a particular person. Create an Encypted Volume using the sim-sized ACOS5 inside the ACR100 Device (the ACR100 is detected as a removable media in Windows Explorer) using the steps discussed here. Once an Ecrypted Volume has been created. Create a "Traveler Disk" so that you can use your encrypted volume on any PC. To create a "Traveler Disk", run TrueCrypt and on the main menu, select "Tools" and then "Traveler Disk Setup. . ." (Figure 3). Figure 3: Creating a Traveler Disk In the "TrueCrypt Traveler Disk Setup", click the "Browse" button in the "File Settings" field. Select the ACR100 Removable Disk (Figure 4). In the "Autorun Configuration" field, select "Auto-mount TrueCrypt volume". In the "Mount Settings" filed click the "Browse. . ." button and select the Volume that you have created in Step 6 above (Figure 4). Figure 4: Travel Disk Setup Click the "Create" button to Create the "Traveler Disk" files in the ACR100 Removable Media. Take note of the warning after creating the "Traveler Disk" (Figure 5). Figure 5: Travel Disk Warning Once you have created the "Traveler Disk". Some TrueCrypt files will be copied to the ACR100 Removable Device. One of these files is an "autorun.inf" file that tells the Windows operating system to load the Encrypted volumes when an ACR100 device is plugged-in (Figure 6). Figure 6: Travel Disk Files You have to edit the autorun.inf file so that the sim-sized ACOS5 card will be utilized when decrypting the Volume that is stored in your ACR100 device (more in this later). Before Editing the autorun.inf file, copy the required ACS' PKCS Files first. Go to the directory; Program Files->Advanced Card Systems Ltd->ACOS5 SDK->Middleware->PKCS. Copy the file "acospkcs11.dll" and paste it in the ACR100 device inside the folder "TrueCrypt". Go to the system32 folder. (Click "Start"->"Run" and type in system32). Look for the files; libeay32.dll, MSVCRTD.DLL and MSVCIRTD.DLL. Copy these files and paste it in the ACR100 device inside the folder "TrueCrypt". Once you have copied all the files to the ACR100 Removable media, the TrueCrypt folder inside the ACR100 should look like the one in Figure 7. Figure 7: Travel Disk Files with the PKCS#11 middleware and its dependencies Open the autorun.inf that is stored in the ACR100 removable media. After following all the steps above, the autorun.inf file should look like the one below: [autorun] label=TrueCrypt Traveler Disk icon=TrueCryptTrueCrypt.exe action=Mount TrueCrypt volume open=TrueCryptTrueCrypt.exe /q background /m rm /v "PortableEncryptedVolume" shellstart=Start TrueCrypt Background Task shellstartcommand=TrueCryptTrueCrypt.exe shelldismount=Dismount all TrueCrypt volumes shelldismountcommand=TrueCryptTrueCrypt.exe /q /dFigure 8: The Traveler Disk autorun.inf Edit the 5th line so that it would look like the one below:[autorun] label=TrueCrypt Traveler Disk icon=TrueCryptTrueCrypt.exe action=Mount TrueCrypt volume open=TrueCryptTrueCrypt.exe /q background /m rm /tokenlib "Truecryptacospkcs11.dll" /k "token://slot/0/file/RandomKeyFile" /v "PortableEncryptedVolume" shellstart=Start TrueCrypt Background Task shellstartcommand=TrueCryptTrueCrypt.exe shelldismount=Dismount all TrueCrypt volumes shelldismountcommand=TrueCryptTrueCrypt.exe /q /dFigure 9: The Updated Traveler Disk autorun.inf. The texts in red are the added parameters. RandomKeyFile is the Keyfile used to decrypt the volume. Modify the "RandomKeyFile" to the the Keyfile that is currently stored in the sim-sized ACOS5 card. Also modify the "PortableEncryptedVolume" to the TrueCrypt Volume that you have created in Step 6. You can now plug-in the ACR100 to a system and your volume will be automatically mounted to the system.

• What are the key benefits of AET65 and AET62 over conventional fingerprint scanners?

  Simple fingerprint system Only AET62 / AET65 , PC and smart cards are needed No need for external hardware & software No need for super server, mega database & complicated software Undemanding system administration and maintenance More efficient and cost-effective than conventional fingerprint scanners When encrypted fingerprint templates are stored in smart cards, matching just involves checking the live fingerprint against the stored template. Hence, no expensive mega database, super server or powerful software is needed. Efficiency is enhanced due to a simpler—yet reliable—system. Users carry their fingerprint templates with them and fingerprint verification authenticates only the smart card user, neutralizing privacy concerns and security risks posed by lost or stolen cards. High-Level Security A major drawback of fingerprint technology is its vulnerability to security threats. For example, security systems may be breached through the reproduction of fingerprints left on surfaces. Smart card-fingerprint technology eliminates this kind of threat by implementing two-factor authentication, verifying something you have (smart card) and something you are (fingerprint). You can have additional security measures such as password or PIN verification—something you know—to increase the level of authentication in your application.

• What is One-Time Password (OTP)?

  One-time password (OTP) is an alphanumeric code that is valid for only one login session or transaction. OTPs are considered not vulnerable to replay attacks, making them a suitable security feature for online banking applications. However, OTPs are difficult to memorize. Thus, they require additional technology.

• What are MasterCard CAP and Visa DPA?

  Chip Authentication Program (CAP) is a MasterCard initiative and technical specification using EMV banking cards to authenticate users and transactions in online and telephone banking. The CAP specification defines a handheld device (CAP reader, which is the dynamic password generator) with a smartcard slot, a decimal keypad, and a display capable of displaying at least 12 characters. CAP is a form of 2-factor authentication, as both a smartcard and a valid PIN must be present for a transaction to succeed. VISA also introduced its own authentication method based on the CAP standard, Dynamic Passcode Authentication (DPA).

• In what types of applications can the APG8201, APG8202 and APG8205 be used?

  The one-time password (OTP) functionality of the APG8202, APG8202 and APG8205 makes them suitable for online banking applications. The OTPs can serve as added security before several transactions like banking logons, online transactions and telephone orders can be performed. Also, APG8201 is equipped with a Secure PIN Entry (SPE) function, which ensures safe PIN entry and PIN change in a PC environment. The PIN is securely entered on the device rather than on the vulnerable PC or workstation, hence eliminating the possibility of a Virus/Trojan getting of the PIN. This security feature is helpful in home banking and government e-ID applications.
