ePass2000 concepts

ePass2000 is the latest generation of data security products.  It combines the security features of a SmartCard with the data transfer capability of the USB port.  But it costs less than the traditional SmartCard solution since it doesn't require a separate card reader. 

• very high security level. The on-board cryptographic functions of the ePass2000 support 1024-bit RSA, DES, 3DES, SHA-1 and the MD5 algorithms.  All signing and encryption operations are performed inside the token.  The private key never leaves the token's secure storage space.  Advanced chip encapsulation technology from Philips also ensures the physical security of the data stored in the ePass2000
• Real random number generation. The ePass2000 token has special hardware used as a real random number generator to create the key pair and Message Authentication Code (MAC). 
• Hardware key pair generation. The RSA key pair is generated entirely within the ePass2000 hardware.  It takes about 20 seconds to generate a 1024-bit key pair.  The large prime number used to derive keys is generated by the real random number generator mentioned above.
• Two factor authentication. Security may be enhanced by requiring the User to enter a 4-8 character alphanumeric PIN when using the ePass2000. 
• High reliability. ePass2000 is Hot Pluggable and may be attached to a key chain; simply remove it from the USB port and carry your sensitive security credentials with you. 
• Low cost. ePass2000 may be used to replace SmartCards in PKI applications, but no separate reader (or power supply) is required. 
• Colorful. ePass2000 tokens are available in four translucent colors: Red, Blue, Purple and Green. 
• Compatible. ePass2000 Operating System support includes Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista, Linux and MACOS 8/9, OS X.
