SafeNet iKey 1000

Overview

Designed for Easy Integration

The SafeNet iKey 1000 USB device was originally designed with the developer in mind. As a result, the SafeNet iKey 1000 has a robust and well-documented Software Developer’s Kit, appropriate for integrating the iKey into client/server and browser environments.

Onboard Cryptographic Processing

Unlike other smart card or token-based authentication systems, the SafeNet iKey 1000 offers onboard key generation and cryptographic processing to ensure that cryptographic keys remain secure at all times.
