The ACOS5 Cryptographic Smart Card Software Development Kit (ACOS5 SDK) can greatly reduce your R&D time, cost and project time-to-market. Your application can be easily and quickly developed over the supplied PKCS-11 and/or CSP framework. Overall development is facilitated through the use of an ACS proprietary tool called "ACS Card Tool", which allows you to send raw commands directly to any PC/SC-compliant smart card reader and card including ACOS5.
ACOS5 is an advanced cryptographic smart card that fully complies with ISO 7816-1/2/3/4/8/9 and is specially designed for public-key based applications. It is specially designed for enhancing security and performance for RSA public-key cryptographic operations that are essential in smart card PKI, digital signature and high level security requirements. ACOS5 provides up to 32KB EEPROM of secure data storage. Typical applications include payment system, e-banking, e-commerce, stock trading, network security, corporate identity, Microsoft windows logon, PKI application, and cryptographic middleware layers CSP and PKCS#11.
