March 2009 FIPS 140-2 level 3 Certification for .NET Smart Card achieved. See the certificate here

- Tokend v1.1 for Mac OS X:  Released last Update of the PKCS11 & TokenD libraries for Mac OS X. This update introduces v1.1 of the TokenD.

January 2009 PKCS#11 User Guides: User guides for the Gemalto .NET PKCS#11 libraries for Windows, Linux and Mac. The Userguide for Mac OS also includes information on Tokend.

November 2008 .NET Bio Launched during Cartes 2008: .NET Bio is the latest security solution for .NET devices, and has been presented during the Cartes 2008 show in Paris. .NET Bio allows on card storage and verification (Match-on-Card) of fingerprint credentials. With .NET bio users can authenticate to the card by presenting their fingerprint on  fingerprint sensor rather than (or in addition to) presenting a PIN. For more information on .NET Bio, you can download the .NET Bio Brochure

July 2008 Now Available:
