ACOS6 SAM card

Typical applications:

ACOS6 standard features:

For example, when a doctor or patient inserts his/her ACOS3 smart card into the card reader, the ACOS6-SAM uses the proprietary information it contains to verify if the card is valid. The system security would hence be greatly enhanced.

The ACOS6 SAM can also perform the authentication procedure and purse MAC computation for the ACOS3 cards. And with the ACOS6 SAM, applications will have an easier and more secured way of performing authentication and purse functions to the ACOS3 cards.

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

ACOS6 SAM is designed to be used as a general cryptogram computation module or as the security authentication module for ACOS3.
