1.0. Introduction
Due to the rising demand of e-working methods such as remote
office and home banking and with the increasing risk of
unauthorized access to private network, it is time to properly
secure the access to PCs, desktops, and Intranet and Extranet
networks. Reinforced with CCID functionality and an extensive
support for memory cards, the ACR38 CCID series offers
solutions based on smart card readers (connected to PCs) for
access control.
The ACR38 CCID Smart Card Reader is smart card
reader/writer is a USB full speed device, which is the interface
for the communication between a computer and a smart card. It
is designed for the PC environment and is the ultimate smart
card peripheral for a PC.
Smart cards are becoming an essential component in network
security and electronic payment system and the ACR38 CCID Smart Card Reader is the ideal partner
when using a PC. It provides secured network computing environment with its data encryption
function. Furthermore, with the SDK package, it will allow users to easily develop their own application
to best meet the specific system needs.
The ACR38 CCID is a low cost, yet reliable and effective smart card-to-PC interface with design
focusing on convenient use and harmony with other PC peripherals in shape and color. It also
provides the solution where the security of a smart card is required. It can be used as access control
to a computer or network (intranet, extranet, etc), authentication for e- commerce (B to B, B to C), etc.
It is also very simple to use and install since it is CCID compliant and it can be support a wide variety
of MCU and Memory cards. It is ideal for electronic commerce, home banking or e-purse facilities,
secure computer access or any of a multitude of other applications.
