Why You Need a Smart Card Reader

Smart Card Readers aka Client Access Card’s or CAC Sleds are small, wireless devices used to provide an 'extra layer of security via 'authentication' when logging on to certain mobile handheld devices such as BlackBerry or from a laptop.

For BlackBerry Handhelds or as a standalone solution, RIM manufacturers a piece of hardware called the Smart Card Reader. It is a small, lightweight wearable device (can be worn on a lanyard) that is normally used in conjunction with your BlackBerry to provide an ‘extra layer’ of security. It also works with Bluetooth Enabled Microsoft Windows Computers and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Applications such as Digital ID’s, Digital Signatures and such.

The reader is wireless and works via secure Bluetooth. The RIM CAC Sled can be used with your BlackBerry or as a standalone solution, to prevent unauthorized access to locked computers or if you are seeking an alternative to Serial/USB Port or other ‘tethered’ based card readers. The reader works in conjunction with your employees’ SIM based identification card and will enable your employees to digitally sign and encrypt their messages on either their BlackBerry devices or computers to provide the most optimal level of security from the sender to the recipient.
