HID OMNIKEY CardMan® 3821 USB Smart Card Reader

The HID OMNIKEY® 3821 smart card reader offers all the trusted performance of OMNIKEY readers in a robust housing. Featuring a keypad for secure PIN (Personal Identification Number) entry, the reader is able to display messages from the application and has a display with two lines indicating the secure mode with a special sign. The commands for the Secure PIN Entry (SPE) can also be given in five languages by default.

Featuring Common Criteria EAL3+ security certification, the OMNIKEY 3821 is designed to safeguard against viruses, worms or phishing attacks. The content on the smart card is protected by a PIN to prevent unauthorized copying or use of the information stored on the card. Sensitive data is neither stored on the PC nor communicated via insecure PC/reader connection, but remains within the smart card/reader environment.

Easy to install, the OMNIKEY 3821 desktop PIN pad reader is ideally suited for online banking and digital signature applications, as well as other online transactions, loyalty programs and healthcare solutions.
