High-Speed
Based on revolutionary chip technology, jointly developed with Atmel, the class 2 PIN pad device CardMan 3621 supports reader-to-card data transmission rates of up to 420 KBits per second, exceeding the performance of other smart card readers.

Standards
Because the CardMan 3621 complies with all relevant industry standards (ISO 7816, EMV (Europay, Mastercard, Visa) 2000, Microsoft WHQL, USB CCID, PC/SC, HBCI (Home Banking Computer Interface, the PC-2001 Specification and many more) it is open for any smart card on any computer for any application. The PIN pad reader is under evaluation for Common Criteria EAL 3+ certification.
Security-Features
The CardMan 3621 allows for Secured PIN Entry (SPE) with its 16 keys integrated keypad. The content on the smart card is protected by a PIN (Personal Identification Number) to prevent unauthorized copying or use of the information stored on the card. The sensible data is neither stored on the PC nor communicated via insecure PC/reader connection but remains only on the card.
Applications
Applications for the desktop PIN pad reader include digital signature, secure online banking and other online transactions, loyalty programs, healthcare solutions and many more future applications. The usage within an application is based on standardized interfaces like PC/SC, OCF (Open Card Framework) or CT-API.
