## Description

Get ready for the future with the new IOGEAR USB Common Access Card Reader. Often referred to as a Smart Card, the Common Access Card (or CAC) is the shape of a credit card, however it is embedded with a chip that can process data, and permit access to delegated computer systems. Smart Cards are often programmed with a PIN to ensure security for both the card holder and the system they want to access. 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. Smart Card readers are used as a communications medium between the smart card and a host (e.g. a computer, a point-of-sale terminal, etc.). The combination of the small size and IC make them a valuable tool for security, data storage, and other special applications. The 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. IOGEAR USB Common Access Card Readers use a contact system where the card must be inserted directly into the card reader; this type of reader is less prone to misalignment and eliminates the possibility of being misread. When it comes to secure access, the Common Access Card (or Smart Card) is an evolutionary step in convenience and security. R-TRE.1: Follows the ISO7816-2 standard CAC Middleware is not included

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent CAC reader! Works Perfectly.
*by R***Y on August 21, 2022*

The IOGEAR USB Smart Card Access (CAC) Reader works perfectly! Need it to CAC into federal government sites to do needed work and it works just like it's supposed to.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well
*by L***T on July 16, 2024*

Does the job, works well. My husband hasn’t complained so that’s a great sign. 😂 Thank you

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent CAC Reader!
*by M***R on January 31, 2012*

This CAC reader works wonderfully with Windows 7. Just plug in and windows updater installs drivers for it automatically. No need to download any home use software. To my knowledge though, Windows 7 is the only Microsoft Operating System with this capability. All older versions should require the use of middleware.
