AS-4CR: A secure card reader
enables a single user's smart-card to simultaneously authenticate with up to 4 isolated computers
This smart-card reader allows the use of one smart card to logon to four computers simultaneously.
Adder secure card reader allows users to stay logged-in on a CAC-designated computer while seamlessly switching between other computers via a secure KVM switch. In time-critical situations, the secure card reader allows simultaneous authentication with up to four isolated computers - without the need to re-authenticate at the point of switching.
The smart card reader uses a holographic tamperevident label to provide visual indications in case of an enclosure intrusion attempt.
The smart card reader operates independently from any computer switches used - such as the AdderView secure switch range. The card reader connects to your host computers using four USB leads. Connections can be made while the computers are switched on or off.
The smart card reader complements the function of secure KVM switches but operates completely independently of the switches themselves. The smart card reader allows you to use a single smart card to authenticate your identity on all four connected computers simultaneously without the need for separate readers.
Note: The buttons on the smart card reader are used to associate your smart card with particular computers, not to change channels on a KVM switch.
Features and Benefits
• No Switching Re-Authentication: When used with a KVM Switch, it removes the need to re-authenticate when the user switches channels
• Auto-Disassociation: Immediately disassociates from all coupled computers when the card is removed
• Secure: No card or user data is accessible to the reader; No data can pass between connected computers
• Industry Recognized: NIAP Protection Profile 4.0 compliant
• Transparent operation: Source PCs are unaware of their peers and work seamlessly with the smartcard
• Tamper Proof Design: Physical casing, anti-tamper sensors and holographic labels minimize the risk of unauthorized access
• ISO7816 compliant: May be used with compatible smartcards and authentication applications; Uses standard smartcard reader chips from Identive (formerly SCM) and USB CCID drivers
