The slim design with tuck-away and clip USB cable makes transportation effortless.\n\nWhat is a Smart Card Reader?\nA Smart Card is a small portable credit-card shaped pocket-sized card with embedded integrated circuits or IC chips which can process data. The combination of the small size and IC (integrated chip) in the Smart Card make them a valuable tool for security, data storage, and other special applications. The use of Smart Cards can improve user security by combining something a user has (the Smart Card) with something only the user should know (a PIN). This provides two factor security that is more secure than passwords alone.\n\nDesigned for Security and Accuracy\nThe traditional credit card uses a magnetic-strip which stores a very small amount of information and has no processing capability of its own. Smart Cards are the next generation of secure and user friendly identification, authentication & data storage solution. The IOGEAR USB Smart Card Access Reader uses a contact system where the card must be swiped through the card reader; this type of reader is less prone to misalignment and eliminates the possibility of being misread.\n\nSmart Card Reader Usage\nGovernment, healthcare, banking, and entertainment industries require secure logins / authentication to access information, sensitive data, or private areas. Smart Cards are the next step in this convenience and security.\n\n- Government - Add an additional level of security to computers with sensitive information\n- Healthcare - Secure patient information by requiring smart card access of system terminals and computers\n- Banking - Protect your customers from unwanted data and monetary theft\n\nSmart Card Reader with TAA Compliance\nGSR202 is listed on the Approved Product List and is TAA compliant product.
