razlika med…..

Kakšna je osnovna razlika med i-key(USB) in smart card?

hvala, lp

osnovna razlika je mogoče v tem, da je iKey bolj namenjen branju podatkov, smart card pa izmenjavi podatkov…

The iKey is a USB device utilizing a standardized interface included on all personal computers built since 1997.

The iKey saves digital signatures, generates public-key-pairs on physical tokens and processes digitale signaturs directly on the card, and prevents consequently complications and costs of a smartcard reader.

A smart card – a type of chip card – is a plastic card embedded with a computer chip that stores and transacts data between users. This data is associated with either value or information or both and is stored and processed within the card’s chip, either a memory or microprocessor.

…ali pa v tem, da za iKey ne rabiš še nekega posebnega readerja.
