MiniKey™ Overview

Network security and information access - both are critical to the successful enterprise. In this world of eCommerce, strategic partnerships, and road warriors, the demand for remote access to company resources is dissolving the traditional boundary of the enterprise. While the opportunities have never been greater, the risks have also multiplied with the potential that unauthorized individuals access the wrong information. As a result, controlling the digital identity of those accessing key resources is more important than ever.

The Ultimate USB Cryptographic Token

AR has over a decade of experience in creating and implementing cutting-edge data security solutions. AR has led the world market in the creation of innovative hardware tokens based on RSA technology (public key encryption and digital signature algorithm).

MiniKey™ is AR's compact, portable pocket-sized USB tokens with similar functionalities and security features to PrivateCard. MiniKey™ provides a convenient PKI security solution for home, office and mobile computing environments. Customers can customize the tokens with their logo's, unique serial numbers, pre-printed data, etc.
