Definitions for "CRYPTOCard"
a calculator-style, battery-powered device used for generating a single-use password
One element in a proprietary authentication system, which uses an offline card containing a large secret key to answer security "challenges" from the network. The large number inside the card, called a key, is like a hard-to-guess password used in encrypting and decrypting. The key is never stored on a computer, which increases its safety against unauthorized discovery.
