For high-security applications that require PIN pad operations we offer smart card readers for two-way authentication. These are particularly suitable for digital signature applications with Common Criteria certified security level. Some identification solutions, such as those relating to online orders and payments following the HBCI standard, or processes within the healthcare infrastructures being developed across the world, demand stronger authentication solutions. Tampering with the communication between system, computer and card reader must not be feasible in any way. Such protection against identity theft can be achieved by using PIN pad smart card readers that keep the authentication process within the reader. OMNIKEY´s PIN pad readers have Common Criteria EAL 3+ certification.
