1.0. Introduction
As smart card technology becomes widely accepted in the market,
integration of different components such as keypad and fingerprint
scanner becomes necessary. This allow for an optimization of
security and offers convenience sought after in many applications.
ACR89 is an electronic device designed primarily to operate under
low energy consumption. It comes with a built-in keypad, LCD,
rechargeable battery and large programmable memory features,
which allow ACR89 to perform secure transaction between the
user and the card both in PC-linked and stand-alone modes.
ACR89 is a powerful tool that offers a low-power and high
performance solution.
It also supports Secure PIN Entry (SPE). We can securely input
the sensitive data through the PIN pad of the device to the PC
terminal. This successfully eliminates the possibility of a
Virus/Trojan or USB Sniffer getting hold of the PIN, as PIN codes
are never exposed to the vulnerable PC or workstation.
Furthermore, ACR89 introduces user firmware upgrade via USB:
users are allowed to upgrade the firmware, which can be easily
loaded to the ACR89 platform through the USB. This capability
makes ACR89 very accessible and ideal for many applications.
This document will guide the user on proper connection of the
device and how to install the reader driver.
