From the Austin-based cybersecurity company with technology solutions used in more than 100 countries and 2 billion trackable objects, HID has created the OMNIKEY 3021 Smart Card Reader. The OMNIKEY 3021 is a contact-based smart card reader with the ability to read all major types of smart cards that follow the ISO 7816 protocol! It adheres to the GSA FIPS 201 standard making it CAC/PIV compliant for federal government employees such as FEMA PIV smart cards. All of this for a reasonable price in a portable case!


Further yet, some online banks require the usage of a smart card reader to verify your identity before logging into your account. The HID OMNIKEY 3021 Smart Card Reader complies with HBCI (Home Banking Computer Interface) meaning that it can be used for online banking. Check with your specific bank for smart card support. This is quite common in the UK where banks hand out online banking card readers. For example, an online bank named NatWest based in London actually implements these smart card readers into practice along with biometric authentication. These banking readers are typically used with the dispersal of a one-time password (OTP) which is entered at your bank log-in page and are only prompted when altering account information or completing a new unique action for the first time. All of this is to ensure an extra layer of security to prevent a cybercriminal who has your account information from spending all your hard-earned savings.


As this is a USB-powered device, you need to make sure that your operating system is supported by the OMNIKEY 3021 smart card reader. This should not be an issue considering that it supports the latest version of Windows and goes way back to XP. MacOS users are supported on 10.14 Mojave going back to OS X 10.0 Cheetah. As for Linux distributions, these distros are supported: Debian 6.0 +, Ubuntu 11.04, Fedora 15+ and Open SUSE 11.4+. If you thought only desktop operating systems were supported then you are in for a surprise because this smart card reader supports Android meaning that you can use a smart card on the go and for mobile applications. *Remember that you will need a middleware to interact with your OMNIKEY 3021 as there are no preinstalled apps that come with the smart card reader* We offer multiple software solutions that provide multi-factor authentication, Single Sign-On, document/email signing, website access and much more. To find the ideal solution for the HID OMNIKEY 3021 Smart Card Reader for your unique use case, take a look at our Solutions page where we go over what smart cards can do for you.


Luckily, the HID OMNIKEY 3021 Smart Card Reader will not fail soon after purchase as the average time before a failure is 500,000 hours which is 20,833 days! That is not going to be anytime soon! The minimum expected smart card insertion amount is 100,000 insertions so keep on sliding that through. The outside body is extremely durable even with the transparent casing and the plastic casing does not give when pressed on. The OMNIKEY 3021 Smart Card Reader is bolted in with metal and has no chance of breaking apart. It also has multiple features that prevent damage from fluctuating electrical currents such as short circuit protection if the internal wires were to fail. This along with thermal protection will prevent overheating and potential fires. Lastly, to avoid potential excessive movements from bumps and falls, the smart card reader will shut off automatically to prevent damage to the smart card. Essentially to clean the OMNIKEY 3021 Smart Card Reader, it only needs to be wiped off with a microfiber cloth for smudges and blown with a can of compressed air to rid of any dust that may collect in the opening. All of these cleaning supplies can be found at Staples, Office Depot, Walmart or Amazon.
