CryptoIdentity User Guide – 1. Introduction to CryptoIdentity and CryptoKit
 Easily integrated with the applications compatible with PKCS#11 and MS CAPI
(CryptoIdentity SDK includes libraries and examples).
 Strong cryptographic capabilities:
- ATMEL AT903232C - 6464C Cryptographic processors
- RSA key generation on token up to 2048 bit.
- Encrypt/decrypt operations with RSA keys up to 2048 bit.
- Digital signature and verification.
- Hardware random number generator.
- 32KB - 64KB EEPROM memory
(2048 bit RSA and 64KB EEPROM are available only to the 2048 model).
1. 1. 2 CRYPTOIDENTITY MODELS
CryptoIdentity is available in different models, depending on the size of the RSA keys
supported and internal memory.
In this guide the term "CryptoIdentity" is used to indicate a generic
CryptoIdentity model. A specific model is specified when operations or
steps described in this guide require a specific version of the tokens.
The CryptoIdentity models are:
CryptoIdentity (also known as CryptoIdentity4)
The first USB cryptographic model manufactured by Eutron Infosecurity, this model is now
in the process of being placed out of production. By the way, drivers and middleware in the
CryptoKit package ensure support for it.
CryptoIdentity5
The successor of CryptoIdentity4, this model provides the following features:
 RSA keys up to 1024 bit.
 EEPROM memory 32KB.
 Fast data transfers between the token and the host machine (up to 64 Kbps).
 New waterproof casing
 Bi-color led.
 Full PC/SC driver. CryptoIdentity5 drivers support the full PC/SC standard in Win98,
ME, NT4, W2K, and XP. PC/SC lite support (www.linuxnet.com) is available for
Linux.
 Microsoft digital signature on driver. The latest CryptoIdentity driver has been
digitally signed and certified by Microsoft for the use in W2K, XP and 2003.
