2-Port Secure Multi-Domain Smart Card Reader (MDR)

User authentication devices are an essential security function in many organizations. Unauthorized access to the organization's information system is a serious threat. As many organizations are forced to isolate their classified and non-classified networks to prevent data leakages, users are forced to authenticate on multiple computers. In many high security organizations the user may need to access four different computers simultaneously at their desktop to handle daily tasks.

HSL developed the Secure Multi-Domain Smart Card Reader (MDR) technology to provide a simple and yet secure solution to this common problem.

HSL's MDR is available in 2 or 4 port computer interfaces via USB cables and enables a single user smart-card to securely authenticate on all of the 2/4 isolated computers. The user places their smart card into the card reader to authenticate as needed and leaves the card in the reader. Once the card is pulled out the authentication session is immediately disconnected. The MDR is fully isolated internally to prevent any potential data leakages between the coupled computers through the reader.
