Get ready for the future with the new IOGEAR USB Smart Card Access Reader. 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). A 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 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), which provides two factor security that is more secure than passwords alone.

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. 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.

Compact and Secure Solution The combination of the small size and IC makes this device a valuable tool for security, data storage - suitable for a wide range of applications in government, banking, healthcare, transportation, entertainment and secure network logins. USB 2.0 connection increases reliability and ease of operation.
Versatile Compatibility The IOGEAR USB Smart Card Access Reader supports ISO7816 Class A, B, and C (5V / 3V / 1.8V) Cards, multiple Smart Card protocols and relevant industry standards for digital signage and secure personal identification.
FIPS 201 Certified This device is FIPS 201 Certified.

I bought this for my Windows 8 PC, and I've had 0 problems out of it. Follow the instructions on MilitaryCAC, and you'll be golden. Cons: I can't think of any cons. It does exactly what I want it to do. Other Thoughts: N/A Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
ScottALot 2/15/2013 6:16:26 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Military Pros: It works... it does its job and is nice and sleek. Cons: The drivers don't have much in the way of Common Access Card (CAC) software. It took quite a while to find the correct drivers and certificates to get it to function... and that's for me, an experienced computer enthusiast. I can't fathom how long it'd take for an amateur. Manufacturer Response: Thank you for choosing IOGEAR and we apologize for the inconvenience. The GSR202 is a plug and play devise with most operating systems. As long as you have a red led when connected and green and red with your card the card reader and plug and play drivers are working just fine. To setup the military side of the card reader you can go to militarycac.com or call the help desk associated with your branch of military listed on militarycac.com Once again, thank you for choosing IOGEAR.
