Corporate Culture Keep Promise We deliver our commitments to our business partners and to one another in our company simply because we practice in our company how we should behave in our daily life. Be Reasonable When we deal with our business partners, something may happen beyond what either party anticipates. No contract will be good enough to deal with all unexpected situations. We want to work with business partners with mutual trusts and enter into simple business contracts with them. In the event that a contract turns out to be in our favour but not fair to our partner, we would not take advantage of our partner. Emphasize on Quality Based on the annual customer satisfaction surveys, feedbacks from customers regarding ACS products and services have been excellent. We received the 2009 Best Practices Award "Product Quality Leadership Award for Smart Card Readers" from Frost & Sullivan. However, we are not satisfied. We realize that in order to gain the same level of trust from our customers on quality as our western counterparts, our products must be superior. Generally speaking, Asia has no advantage over Europe and USA in the image of quality it portrays. Respect and Develop Employees We are in a business reliant on knowledge workers. Their voice must be listened to. Employees with insufficient relevant experience should be trained, guided and provided a lot of opportunities to learn, rather than be instructed.
SMART CARDS & SMART CARD OPERATING SYSTEMS Global smart card shipments are expected to reach about 8.8 billion units by 205. ACS develops and provides smart cards with its smart card operating system (ACOS) as intellectual property. Often noted for their secure and elegant architecture, ACOS cards uncover the powerful potential of smart cards, enabling a single card to support multiple applications, from physical/network access control to payment applications. The security level requirement of these applications is, in turn, met by ACOS cards via multilevel secured access hierarchy. One of these cards, the ACOS5 Cryptographic Smart Card, is especially designed for RSA public-key cryptographic operations that are essential in smart card PKI, digital signature, etc. ACOS3 ACOS3X ACOS3 Combi /Contactless ACOS6 ACOS6-SAM ACOS7 Combi /Contactless ACOS0 ACOS0 Combi /Contactless ACOS5-64 Cryptomate Form Factor Card - Contact Only Card - Contactless Only Card - Contact and Contactless Token - Contact Card and USB Full Speed Communication Speed Contact interface 9,600-223,200 bps Contactless interface 06,000-848,000 bps Memory EEPROM Size 32KB/72KB 256KB 8KB 64KB 32KB 8KB 32KB 8KB 64KB 64KB Protocol Contact interface T = 0 Contactless interface T = CL Certifications / Compliance Contact Interface ISO 786 - /2/3 ISO 786-4 ISO 786-8/9 Contactless Interface ISO 4443 Common Criteria EAL5+ Chip Level Chip Level Chip Level Chip Level Chip Level PBOC 2.0 e-deposit/e-purse Ministry of Construction (China) NSH- (Brazil) File Systems Transparent/Binary File Linear Fixed Record Linear Variable Record Cyclic File Cryptographic Capabilities DES/3DES 3K3DES AES - 28 bits AES - 92 bits AES - 256 bits RSA - 52 to 4096 bits (in 256-bit step) SHA-, SHA-256 Mutual Authentication Secure Messaging Random Number Generator (FIPS 40-2) EEPROM Endurance 00,000 Read/Write Cycles 500,000 Read/Write Cycles Data Retention 0 Years Subject to change without prior notice
