A HW device, in addition to SW components, which:
- Authorize access in versatile and modular way to protected information
- Allow the execution of computer programs (software) subject to obtaining a license to use them
The HW can be any PKCS11-compliant token, including a microprocessor and capable of data storage using two different memory segments: one having free access, another one protected using an access control system. Inside this area lies the proprietary algorithm that will generate the authentication code.
