## 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

This works exactly as expected and allows me to complete work tasks at home when necessary. The value is great for the cost! Highly recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plug in Play. Windows 11
*by A***R on February 20, 2022*

Revived CAC reader. Plugged into my windows 11 laptop. Able to log into websites requiring CAC. No download, or update or anything. Has been working fine for 2 months.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FINALLY! A CAC reader that works with my Chromebook!
*by "***" on May 6, 2020*

I've had several CAC readers over the years that have given me different levels of reliability with my Windows and Mac laptops; however, this is the first (and only) CAC reader that seems to work with my Chromebook. It was literally plug-and-play with both my Samsung Chromebook V2 and my Samsung Galaxy Chromebook. Working a lot from home now and it's nice to be able to access my restricted (.mil) sites from my Chromebook with no issues. LOVE IT!
