eToken R2 Features
Hardware Random Number Generation
The eToken PRO has a true hardware random number generator that
is used internally for RSA key generation and authentication
challenges.
Physically Protected Chip
The eToken PRO is implemented in a secure chipcard that meets the
ITSEC 4 standard. All data stored on the eToken PRO is stored
internally within this chipcard and is intrinsically secure.
Access Protection
The eToken PRO possesses a comprehensive access control
mechanism that protects data and keys stored on the eToken. Access
to data can be controlled by a variety of mechanisms, such as
challenge-response authentication or PIN entry.
USB Data Traffic Encryption
Data passing between the eToken PRO and the host computer is
protected using secure messaging, a mechanism that enables selective
encryption and/or authentication of data or traffic. Secure messaging
uses the 3DES symmetric algorithm.
The eToken R2:
Uses a secure microcontroller (EEPROM), with 16K/32K bytes of
secured memory, and a 128-bit DESX on-chip processor.
Provides full support for storage of PKI-based keys and
certificates.
Enables compatible implementation with smartcard applications.
Supports PKCS#11, CAPI and Application Protocol Data Unit
(APDU) APIs.
On-board Cryptographic Functionality.
The eToken R2 supports the DESX symmetric algorithm with 120-bit
keys. eToken R2 uses this algorithm internally to encrypt all sensitive
data and to perform the challenge-response user authentication
protocol. The eToken R2 can be used as an encryption/decryption
engine to protect information on a PC.
