Pluss-ID Compact USB-A Contact IC Chip Reader
Modern professionals need security tools that travel with them.
- Compact enough to stay on a laptop or keyring full-time
- Durable enough for daily travel and hybrid work
- Simple to deploy, with no extra cables, hubs, or batteries
This is exactly the gap Pluss-ID was built to fill: transforming the traditional “cable-and-brick” smart card reader into a pocket-sized companion for mobile professionals.
Reliable compact smart card reader for secure contact chip card operations.
The Compact USB-A Contact IC Chip Reader is designed for dependable, frequent use in offices, service counters, and professional workstations. It provides stable and secure communication with contact-based smart cards used in authentication systems, banking, government ID solutions, and enterprise security environments.
FIDO2 over ISO 7816 (Contact IC Cards – Windows Only)
Unlike USB security keys (touch the sensor) or NFC cards (tap), contact IC cards used via a smart card reader must be removed and reinserted to complete authentication.
FIDO2 support over ISO 7816 contact interfaces is currently implemented on Windows only. Other operating systems do not provide full compatibility, therefore we recommend using this device with Windows 11 environments.
ISO 7816 transports are also not supported by common FIDO tools such as libfido2 or fido2-manage. Device provisioning and management must be performed using the
Token2 Companion App.
Compatibility
Operating Systems: Windows only – plug-and-play with native Microsoft drivers.
Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11 (32-bit & 64-bit) and Windows Server editions.
Not compatible with macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, ChromeOS or any non-Windows operating system.
Cards must have visible gold contacts to function correctly.
The device is provided by a third party, but Token2 has completed the test and guarantees compatibility with its products (the product and operating system limitations apply as described on the product page).
