ACOS6-SAM Secure Access Module Card

ACOS6-SAM -  Ideal Solution for Security Enhancement!

The ACOS6 Secure Access Module (SAM) is designed as a general cryptogram computation module or as a security authentication module for Advanced Card Systems' ACOS contact smart cards - ACOS3, ACOS6, ACOS7 and ACOS10, and common contactless smart cards—DESFire, DESFire EV1, Ultralight-C and Mifare Plus.

The ACOS6-SAM card securely stores cryptographic keys and uses these keys to compute cryptograms for other applications or smart cards. Using this, terminals need not know the master key(s) of an application, whereas the keys never leave the ACOS6-SAM.

PRESS RELEASE: ACS Develops Mobile Card Readers

Advanced Card Systems Ltd. is proud to inform all customers of the release of the new product line for Mobile Device Card Readers.



“ACS currently enables mobility by housing powerful readers in the smallest form factors,” says Gilbert Leung, ACS Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “It was enough years ago for users to have a reader that fits in the pocket, to be plugged into a PC. But developments in mobile devices have presented us with a new challenge. Mobile devices can now perform many functions of a PC, and many users are starting to prefer the former for the majority of their activities. By developing readers that they can use with smart phones and tablets, ACS is enabling true mobility for such users.”
