The ReinerSCT cyberJack RFID basis is an external, contactless RFID reader, specifically developed for use with chip cards such as the new German identity card (nPA). The device features a USB interface and serves as an interface between the chip card and a connected computer. It is designed for use in administrative and service environments where secure and reliable authentication or data transfer is required. The BSI certification confirms compliance with the necessary security standards for use in the public sector.

Applications

The reader is primarily used in identity verification and electronic signature applications, particularly in connection with the new German identity card (nPA). It is suitable for applications in government agencies, banks, insurance companies, and other institutions requiring verifiable and security-compliant communication with chip cards. Certification by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) makes it suitable for official procedures in the German public administration sector.

Functions and Features in Detail

The ReinerSCT cyberJack RFID basis operates contactlessly and detects chip cards in RFID standard. Communication takes place via a USB interface, which connects directly to a computer. Upon successful reading or authentication, an LED indicator blinks, providing visual feedback to the user regarding the status. The device is compatible with various operating systems, including Linux, Apple MacOS X, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, as well as Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and 7. Compliance with RoHS and WEEE demonstrates adherence to European environmental and recycling regulations.

Technology Explained Simply

The reader uses RFID technology to receive data from contactless chip cards without physical contact between the card and the device. Data transmission occurs via electromagnetic fields in the high-frequency range. The USB interface ensures a stable and fast connection to the host computer. The LED indicator provides visual feedback, immediately signaling to the user whether the card has been successfully recognized. The BSI certification ensures that the device meets the security requirements for use in the public sector.

Compatibility and Accessories

The device is designed for use with chip cards, particularly the new German identity card (nPA). It is intended for use with the specified operating systems. Connection is exclusively via USB, without additional adapters or cables.

Mounting and Installation

Installation is performed by directly connecting the device via USB to a computer. No special mounting or installation instructions are required, as the device is designed as an external unit and does not require special fixation. Software integration is achieved through standard drivers provided by the respective operating systems.

Operational Advantages

The ReinerSCT cyberJack RFID basis offers reliable and secure communication with chip cards. The BSI certification ensures compliance with high security standards, which is crucial for official applications. The LED indicator enhances user-friendliness by visually signaling the status of the card reading operation. Compatibility with a wide range of operating systems increases flexibility when integrating into existing IT infrastructures. The device is designed for use in office environments and requires no special maintenance.
