A memory card reader is a device used for communication with a smart card or a flash memory card. A business card reader is a scanning device used to scan and electronically save business cards. A magnetic card reader is a device used to scan cards containing magnetic data strips. A punched card reader is a device used to read holes in punched cardboard cards.
A smart card reader is an electronic device that reads smart cards. Some keyboards have a built-in card reader. There are external devices and internal drive bay card reader devices for PC. Some laptops have built-in smart card reader. Some have a flash upgradeable firmware. The card reader supplies the integrated circuit on the smart card with electricity. Communication is done via protocols and you can read and write to a fixed address on the card.
A memory card reader is a device, typically having a USB interface, for accessing the data on a memory card such as a CompactFlash (CF), Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMediaCard (MMC). Most card readers also offer write capability, and together with the card, this can function as a pen drive.
Some printers and personal computers have a built-in card reader. A multi card reader is a device used for communication with more than one type of flash memory card. Multi card readers do not have any built-in memory capacity, but are able to accept multiple types and styles of memory cards. Multi card readers typically use a USB interface to connect with a USB-capable computer or other device, enabling users to access information stored in the memory card. The number of compatible memory cards varies from reader to reader and can include more than 20 different types. The number of different memory cards that a multi card reader can accept is expressed as x-in-1, with x being the number of memory cards accepted. Such as 35-in-1. There are three categories of card readers sorted by the type and quantity of the card slots. single card reader (e. g. 1x SD-only), multi card reader (e. g. 9-in-1) and series card reader (e. g. 4x SD only). However, there are some kinds of memory cards with USB functions that do not need the card reader, such as the Intelligent Stick memory card, which can plug directly into a USB slot. The USB device class used is
Access control card readers are used in physical security systems to read a credential that allows access through access control points, typically a locked door. An access control reader can be a magnetic stripe reader, a bar code reader, a proximity reader, a smart card reader, or a biometric reader. Access control readers may be classified by functions they are able to perform and by identification technology.
A barcode is a series of alternating dark and light stripes that are read by an optical scanner. The organization and width of the lines is determined by the bar code protocol selected. There are many different protocols but code 39 is the most popular in the security industry. Sometimes the digits represented by the dark and light bars are also printed to allow people to read the number without an optical reader. The advantage of using bar code technology is that it is cheap and easy to generate the credential and it can easily be applied to cards or other items. The disadvantage of this technology is that it is cheap and easy to generate a credential making the technology susceptible to fraud and the optical reader can have reliability problems with dirty or smudged credentials. One attempt to reduce fraud is to print the bar code using carbon-based ink and then cover the bar code with a dark red overlay. The bar code can then be read with an optical reader tuned to the infrared spectrum, but can not easily be copied by a copy machine. This does not address the ease with which bar code numbers can be generated from a computer using almost any printer.
There are several forms of biometric identification employed in access control. fingerprint, hand geometry, iris and face recognition. The use of biometric technology significantly increases security level of systems because it eliminates such problems as lost, stolen or loaned ID cards, and forgotten or guessed PINs. The operation of all biometric readers is alike. they compare the template stored in memory to the scan obtained during the process of identification. If the probability that the template in the memory and the live scan belong to the same person is high enough, the ID number of that person is sent to a control panel. The control panel then checks permissions of the user and makes the decision whether to grant access or not. The communication between the reader and the control panel is usually done in the industry standard Wiegand protocol. The only exception is intelligent biometric readers that do not require any panels and directly control all door hardware. Biometric templates may be stored in the memory of readers, in which case the number of users is limited by reader memory size. Readers currently available in the market may store up to 50,000 templates. Template of each user may also be stored in the memory of his/her smart card. This option removes all limits to the number of system users, but it requires each user to have a card and makes finger-only identification impossible. Biometric templates may also be stored in the memory of a central server PC. This option is called "server-based verification". Readers simply read biometric data of users and forward it to the main computer for processing. Such systems support large number of users, but they are very much dependent on the reliability of the central server and communication lines. 1-to-1 and 1-to-many are the two possible modes of operation of a biometric reader.
In the 1-to-1 mode a user must first identify himself/herself to the reader by either presenting an ID card or entering a PIN number. The reader then looks up the template of the user in the database and compares it with the live scan. The 1-to-1 method is considered more secure and is generally faster as the reader needs to perform only one comparison. Most 1-to-1 biometric readers are "dual-technology" readers. they either have a built-in proximity, smart card or keypad reader, or they have an input for connectin an external card reader.
In the 1-to-many mode a user presents his finger (or hand, eye, etc.) and reader needs to compare the live scan to ALL the templates stored in the memory. This method is preferred by most end-users, because it eliminates the need to carry ID cards or use PINs. On the other hand this method is slower, because the reader may have to perform thousands of comparison operations until it finds the match. An important technical characteristic of 1-to-many readers is the number of comparisons that can be performed in one second, which is considered the maximum time that users can wait at a door without noticing a delay. Currently most 1-to-many readers are capable of performing us. matching operations in one second.
Wiegand card technology is a patented technology using embedded ferromagnetic wires strategically positioned to create a unique pattern that generates the identification number. Like magnetic stripe or bar code, this card must be swiped through a reader to be read. Unlike those other technologies the identification media is embedded in the card and not susceptible to wear. This technology once gained popularity because of the difficulty in duplicating the technology creating a high perception of security. This technology is being replaced by proximity cards because of the limited source of supply, the relatively better tamper resistance of proximity readers, and the convenience of the touch-less functionality in proximity readers.
The Wiegand effect was used in early access cards. This method was abandoned in favor of other technologies. Card readers are still referred to as "Wiegand output readers" but no longer use the Wiegand effect. The new technologies retained the Wiegand upstream data so that the new readers were compatible with old systems. A Proximity reader radiates a 1" to 20" electrical field around itself. Cards use a simple LC circuit. When a card is presented to the reader, the reader's electrical field excites a coil in the card. The coil charges a capacitor and in turn powers an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit outputs the card number to the coil which transmits it to the reader. A common proximity format is 26 bit Wiegand. This format uses a facility code, sometimes also called a site code. The facility code is a unique number common to all of the cards in a particular set. The idea is that an organization will have their own facility code and a set of numbered cards incrementing from 1. Another organization has a different facility code and their card set also increments from 1. Thus different organizations can have card sets with the same card numbers but since the facility codes differ, the cards only work at one organization. This idea worked fine for a while but there is no governing body controlling card numbers, and different manufacturers can supply cards with identical facility codes and identical card numbers to different organizations. Thus there is a problem of duplicate cards. To counteract this problem some manufacturers have created formats beyond 26 bit Wiegand that they control and issue to organizations. In the 26 bit Wiegand format, bit 1 is an even parity bit. Bits 2-9 are a facility code. Bits 10-25 are the card number. Bit 26 is an odd parity bit. Other formats have a similar structure of a leading facility code followed by the card number and including parity bits for error checking.
There are two types of smart cards. contact and contactless. Both have an embedded microprocessor and memory. The smart card differs from the card typically called a proximity card in that the microchip in the proximity card has only one function. to provide the reader with the card’s identification number. The processor on the smart card has an operating system and can handle multiple applications such as a cash card, a pre-paid membership card, and even an access control card. The difference between the two types of smart cards is found in the manner with which the microprocessor on the card communicates with the outside world. A contact smart card has eight contacts, which must physically touch contacts on the reader to convey information between them. Since contact cards must be inserted into readers carefully and the orientation has be observed the speed and convenience of such transaction is not acceptable for most access control applications. The use of contact smart cards is physical access control is limited mostly to parking applications when payment data is stored in card memory and when the speed of transactions is not important. A contactless smart card uses the same radio-based technology as the proximity card with the exception of the frequency band used. higher frequency (13.56Mhz instead of 125Khz) allows to transferring more data and communicating with several cards at the same time. A contactless card does not have to touch the reader or even be taken out from a wallet or purse. Most access control systems only read serial numbers of contactless smart cards and do not utilize the available memory. Card memory may be used for storing biometric data (i. e. fingerprint template) of a user. In such case a biometric reader first reads the template on the card and then compares it to the finger (hand, eye, etc.) presented by the user. This way biometric data of users does not have to be distributed and stored in the memory of controllers or readers, which simplifies the system and reduces memory requirements.

I recently got a Compact Flash card reader and set about getting it to work under Linux (x86). I didn't find any instructions that were as straightforward as they should be, so. First things first. here are some resources.

We would like to offer an unprecedented amount of card readers within the same roundup. 27 models including such manufacturers as Apacer, Transcend, SanDisk, Pretec, Vizo, Microsonic and many others. We will check out external and internal models performance with the following major types of media. Compact Flash. Secure Digital. SDHC. MMCplus and Memory Stick.
Memory cards is something every one of us uses because digital cameras, PDAs, smart-phones are all equipped with one or even several such cards. You can see them in cell phones, players and car stereos, too. Memory cards are also used with ordinary PCs even though the small size of this storage doesnt seem to be an important factor for them. the low power consumption and shock tolerance make such cards a good replacement to hard disks in industrial PCs, compact servers, notebooks. You may also want to use a memory card with your desktop PC because Windows Vista can utilize flash memory to accelerate disk access (thanks to the relatively low access time of such memory at reading) by means of ReadyBoost technology. Memory cards have been improving their key characteristics, capacity and data-transfer rate, year by year. But besides the theoretical speed, there is the real one that depends not only on the cards capabilities but also on the card-readers. The reader is built into the devices electronics in a camera or PDA, but if you want to use the card with your desktop PC, you can choose the reader yourself. It would be wise to do so because cheap readers, based on slow chips, cannot reveal the potential of a modern card fully. Before proceeding to the devices I am going to test, I will tell you about the SDHC and MMCplus formats that have come to replace SD and MMC, respectively. Ill mention these formats below in connection with some models of readers, but some users have a rather vague notion of the difference of these formats from their predecessors. The story of these form-factors (they are thicker than the full-size versions but it is the only difference) began in 1997 with the introduction of the MultiMediaCard by Siemens and SanDisk. As opposed to the older Compact Flash format, which mostly employed NOR flash memory chips, the new standard was based on more compact NAND chips. The resulting card was very small at 24x32x1.4mm. Later on, the Secure Digital standard was developed on that basis. An SD card was 0.3mm thicker but offered data security features (not very demanded by the users, though) and a somewhat higher speed due to the higher interface frequency, 25 or 50MHz as opposed to the MMCs 20MHz. The further progress was logical enough. the cards were getting larger in terms of capacity, yet retained their compact size. They eventually won a share of the market from the larger Compact Flash format. Their speed has always been somewhat lower in comparison with Compact Flash, but the difference is not too big in practical applications. Reduced-size versions of these cards appeared under the pressure from the manufacturers of compact devices (cell phones in the first place). RS-MMC, SecureMMC, mini-SD, and microSD. RS-MMC is just a twice shorter MMC while the others have differently positioned connectors and can work in SD/MMC-supporting readers by means of an appropriate adapter. After a while, both formats approached a point when the steadily accumulating problems called for an introduction of serious changes into the design of the cards. For MMC the main problem was the data-transfer speed across the interface, which was too low. For SD, there was a fundamental capacity limit of 2GB resulting from the addressing mechanism originally implemented in the standard. Thats why the attempts to introduce 4GB SD cards were not a success as most devices just wouldnt work with them. Anyway, both standards solved their problems one way or another. There appeared MMC 4.1, also known as MMCplus, in which the bus frequency was increased to 52MHz while the bus itself was enlarged with two additional contacts. This helped maintain backward compatibility, even though at low speeds (if you insert an MMCplus card into an old card-reader, the latter will work with it as with an ordinary MMC), and achieve excellent speeds, up to 290x, in new card-readers (to remind you, 1x equals 150KB/s as in CD drives). The SD standard developed to version 2.0, better known as Secure Digital High Capacity, in which byte-based addressing was replaced with sector-based addressing. The maximum capacity of a card thus increased to 2TB. Unfortunately, the introduction of the new addressing type doesnt allow SDHC cards to be read by old, SD-supporting readers. Summing it up, MMCplus cards can work in any MMC-compatible device but can only show the full speed in new card-readers specially designed for MMCplus. SDHC cards do not work at all in old SD-compatible readers. You should make sure your card-reader (PDA, camera, etc) supports SDHC before purchasing such a card. Finally, the SD 2.0 specification introduced speed class ratings. Each SDHC card can be class 2, 4 or 6. The number means the minimum write speed the empty card provides. These speeds are 2, 4 and 6MB/s, but the manufacturers can install faster chips for higher write speeds. The speed just cannot be lower than the declared class. You can go to the MMC and SD websites for more information about these flash card standards. Now that were done with the theory, its time to get to practice. I mean, to the card-readers to be tested.
So youve bought your digital camera, youve taken some great photos and you want to view them on your computer. Well, most digital cameras can be plugged directly into a computer via USB cable. However, there is an alternative method which many photographers use which is an external card reader/writer. These also plug into your computer and are available in a wide variety of types, sizes and colours. Unlike a digital camera, they can be left permanently plugged into your computer if you wish. Benefits of a card reader
Compatibility, most cameras only take one kind of card, some readers can take all different types of memory card.
The different types of card readerWith such a wide range of card readers available, it can be confusing deciding which to buy. The main types are outlined below.
Single card readersThese are the most basic of all, allowing you only to use one type of card in them. They are fine if you can never imagine needing to read any other type of card.
Multi-card readersAble to read from two to as many as six different types of card, these can be very convenient. If you dont think youll use anymore than two of the card types offered by the reader, try find a dual reader and save some money.
High-speed readersWith the files digital cameras produce becoming larger and larger, the time taken to transfer images to your PC is increasing. If your computer has a Firewire or USB 2.0 port, there are card readers that will take advantage of the extra speed these connections allow. They are particularly effective with fast memory cards or IBM microdrives.
Prices for all these different types of card reader can vary a lot. Multi-card and High-speed readers tend to cost the most. Once youve set your budget, all you need to do is decide which type of reader described here best suits your needs. Good luck with your card reader buying!
NIDEC SANKYO has been engaged in card reader research and development for approximately 30 years, emphasizing reliability and security. The Company has helped to establish advanced technologies in the areas of media handling, image processing, and contact and contactless IC cards. We have utilized the expertise amassed in the design of magnetic heads, motors, and other core components in our card readers. Through our close association with major customers the world over, we have shaped our technologies to match the needs of the marketplace. This intimate knowledge of the market has made NIDEC SANKYO's card readers the world leader, found in many applications including POS terminals, kiosk terminals, ATMs and other financial terminals.
To process a smart ID card (e. g. use the e-Cert embedded to conduct electronic transactions), the computer has to be equipped with a smart card reader with the following mandatory features.
(a) Smart Card Interface Standard - ISO 7816 is an international standard that describes the interface requirements for contact-type smart card. It has multiple parts. Part 1, 2 and 3 are applicable to card readers. Part 1 defines the physical characteristics of the card. Part 2 defines dimension and location of chip contacts of the card. Part 3 defines electronic signals and transmission protocols of the card. Card readers may be referred to as conforming to ISO 7816 1/2/3, or in its simplified term, ISO 7816.
(b) Driver - This refers to the software used by the operating system (OS) of a PC for managing a smart card and a card reader. To read a smart ID card, the driver of the card reader must be PC/SC compliant which is supported by most card reader products available in market. It should be noted that different OS would require different drivers. In acquiring card readers, the compatibility between the driver and the OS has to be ensured.
(a) Type of Card Contact - It refers to how the contact between a card reader and a card is physically made. There are basically two main types of contact. landing contact and friction contact (also known as sliding or wiping). For card readers of friction contact, the contact part is fixed. The contact wipes on the card surface and the chip when a card is inserted. For card readers of the landing type, the contact part is movable. The contact lands on the chip after a card is wholly inserted. In general, card reader of landing type provides better protection to the card than that of the friction type.
(b) Software Interface Standard EMV is a common application standard developed by the consortium of Europay International, MasterCard International and Visa International (EMV) with an aim to facilitate the use of smart cards for payments worldwide. To pave the way for future payment applications that may run on a smart card, it may be worth acquiring a card reader that supports EMV.
To facilitate the manufacturing/sourcing of the smart card readers, a high level specification of the smart ID card is provided below for reference.

). There are three ways of doing this. If you have a laptop computer then the card can be inserted in to a PC Card adaptor and placed in that slot. Desktop as well as laptop computers may have either Firewire or USB 2 connectors, or both, and there are card readers available for both types of interfaces. (
) in laptops are ubiquitous and convenient. Unfortunately, they are slow. More than 3 times slower than either Firewire or USB 2. Their advantage though, if you have a laptop, is that they require no additional devices since all laptops have them built in, and CompactFlash card adaptors are inexpensive and can live permanently in the card slot. Some laptop computers even have dedicated CF card readers slots. Regrettable these use the same PCMCIA card bus and offer no advantage other than to not require the use of a card adaptor.
Firewire is fast. More than 3 times faster than PCMCIA transfers. If you have a Mac then your computer has Firewire. You're also lucky because it means that your computer has a full-sized powered Firewire connector and you can use self-powered card readers. Windows laptops that offer Firewire almost universally have mini-connector ports which are
Powered, and therefore you need to use a card reader along with an AC adaptor. Not a problem on the desktop, and desktop PCs with Firewire typically have powered 6 wire plugs, but the AC adaptor is one more thing to carry in the field and means that you can't transfer files while under battery power. Score one for the Mac.
USB 2 card readers are about the same speed as Firewire. more than 3 times faster than PCMCIA slot transfers. Their advantage for PC owners is that the USB 2 mini-connector on laptops
Powered, and so a USB 2 card reader doesn't need an AC power block and cord, a serious weight and bulk saving when working on the road.
Containing 9 files, in a single 158 Megabyte directory. Transferring these files took 140 second using the PCMCIA card slot, 43 seconds using a Microtech Firewire card reader, and the same 43 seconds using a Lacie
If you work with a current model laptop, especially in the field, a USB 2 card reader like the Lacie appears to be the best solution. It's what I currently use.
Belkin has introduced a card reader for the Apple iPod. This allows you to use your iPod for more than just playing tunes, copying your camera's memory cards in the field via Firewire and under battery power. It $99 it is reasonably priced, and works with both Mac and Windows based Ipods.

Memory Card Readers. Just like a CD-R or floppy disc, you need a device to read what is on the flash memory. this is where a card reader comes in. You can connect the card reader to your notebook or PC through a USB port. Notebooks can also use a PCMCIA reader. Card Readers may handle one to two types of different media, or even up to eight types of flash memory (Compact Flash/CF, SD, Mini SD, Micro SD, Memory Stick, XD, MMC, and Smart Media Cards). Once set up, all you have to do is remove the card from your camera, put it in the reader, and the images will download automatically. After you've copied your pictures onto your hard drive you can then erase your memory card and start over with a fresh "roll of film!"

Zac Franken, a DefCon goon (staffer), gave a brilliant presentation at the DefCon hacker conference today involving security access control systems and cards for building entrances that use electromagnetic coupling. The hack involves exploiting a serious vulnerability inherent in the Wiegand protocol that allows an intruder to trick the system into granting entrance to a building to an unauthorized visitor, to lock out authorized visitors and to collect authorization data about everyone who has entered that door to gain access to other areas in a building secured with Wiegand-based readers. The Wiegand protocol is a plain-text protocol and is employed in systems that secure not only some office buildings but also some airports. Franken has said that it's used at Heathrow airport. Retina scanners, proximity scanners and other access systems all use the Wiegand protocol so the vulnerability isn't device-specific. The hack involves splicing the internal wiring and inserting a device with a PIC chip that Franken has dubbed "gecko" (the gecko is the small black rectangular item attached to the wires in the lefthand corner of the last photo below). To conduct the hack, Franken simply had to pop the plastic cover off the reader with a knife, then unscrewed an internal plate to access the wires. Once he connected the wires to the gecko he returned the plate and cover. (Some card readers have tamper evident devices that send a signal to the backend system if someone removes the reader's cover, but Franken says it's easy to bypass the devices if you know where they are.) Once the gecko with the PIC chip is in place, here's how it works.When someone uses their card to access the building, the gecko captures the signal. If Franken then entered later with a card that he designated his "replay" card (a card that the PIC chip is programmed to recognize) gecko signals the system to use the same signal taken from the card of the person who was previously allowed access. The logs wouldn't show anything amiss, although a camera positioned at the entrance would show that the person entering the building didn't match the authorization data (but that would only be a problem if someone bothered to view the camera images).Using a different card, Franken could also signal gecko to instruct the system to lock out everyone but himself. Then he could restore the access system to normal with another card when he exited the building. The hack only works with the initial reader where the gecko is placed. an intruder would still be barred from entering additional areas inside a building that are secured with such readers. However, Franken says it's possible to do a data dump from the gecko's memory and use the stored IDs on cloned cards. With ID data for many people with various levels of access to different areas of the building, an intruder would be able to access all areas of a building. But there's more. Franken is working on another attack that would allow him to do the same with a biometric system that uses a retinal scan. Instead of using a card to send the signal to the gecko, Franken would send the "replay" signal through a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone, thus bypassing the retina scanning process altogether. Franken says the Wiegand protocal isn't easily patchable -- it would need to be replaced entirely to make entrances secure. "There's nothing secure about it," he says. The proper solution, he says, would require a cryptographic handshake between the card and reader. Photos. Andrew Brandt (above and the first one below) and Dave Bullock (bottom two photos)
The proper solution, he says, would require a cryptographic handshake between the card and reader." That would not stop this attack because you can intercept the Wiegand protocol coming from the reader going back to the panel. You would need to encrypt the data going from the reader to the panel itself to stop this kind of attack.
The Wiegand protocol is an unsupervised one way protocol, highs and lows to represent a bit stream that is interpreted at the access system controller side from the reader. Even smart card readers that do authenticate keys prior to communication with the card still pass info using this protocol on the hardware side. There is a solution that is coming to market called OSDP protocol. Much higher speeds and is a true supervised protocol and provides a foundation for encryption as well. Problem here is most readers and control hardware will require wholesale replacement since they don’t support it. Company named Lenel has had the protocol available on the hardware side for almost a year and readers should be available by end of year from the major manufacturers.
There are some simple solutions that one can take to insure the integrity of the Wiegand data communications. Wholesale replacement of readers are NOT required. Some of these measures include using the tamper mechanisim built into most readers, using the reader supervision "heatbeat" pulse built-into many manufacturers readers, using tamper screws that require special tools to remove a reader which would be "butchered" and noticable by a simple once a day walk by observation, connecting the tamper wires to the supervised inputs available on most panels which can detect all 4-states (disconnected, open, closed, and shorted), and many more best practices installation. Any attack on other than an exterior reader would most likely be committed by an outsider in which case you have more things to worry about that a comprimised Wiegand reader. At the risk of sounding obnoxious (since everyone in the security industry know this), effective security is layered involving multiple redundancies so that a single point failure (i. e., comprimise)is not fatal. That's why cars have power brakes and also manual brakes. The Wiegand protocol has survived because it is an industry standard. all of the other solutions like RS485, F2F, etc. are proprietary to specific manufacturers. Yes, the Wiegand protocol can be made more secure and I expect that somebody will do so. But, the bottom line is that Zac's attack (which should not be characterized as a hack) should serve as a wake-up call to follow best practices and use layered security. Hopefully some of the security consultants and security publications will talk and write about this so that the installers and end-users will learn this valuable message.
If you've used a credit card reader in Ireland recently you may want to call your credit card company and monitor your account. Scammers posing as bank workers replaced credit card readers in retail stores in northeast Ireland with fake readers that captured the data on as many as 10,000 credit and debit cards, according to an IDG News Service report. The Bank of Ireland shut down some cards and limited overseas withdrawals, while Ireland's National Police Service launched an investigation. Criminals can make clone cards with the data they get off the magnetic stripe from the cards that pass through the dummy readers.
It's long know that minimum wage workers are the easiest target in CC scamming. anyone can get the job and you just switch the reader when no one is looking, then quit the job. One day of transactions on the dummy reader makes it worth it.
Why have a card reader? Firstly, ease of use you an leave it plugged into your computer and slot your memory card in when you need to. Secondly, the transfer speed is around ten times faster than using your camera and
Cable. The third, and perhaps most important reason, is that by using a card reader you arent running down your camera batteries during transfer. This is especially beneficial when transferring large numbers of photos where you risk crashing your transfer if the battery is depleted. Card readers also allow you to save data to the card, which means you can carry them on your memory card and easily transfer to another computer.
Cable, card readers are a cheaper and more readily available alternative, and bring with them all the benefits listed above.

SanDisk introduces three new memory card readers transfer photos, video, music and data quickly and easily
COLOGNE, GERMANY, Sep. 29, 2004 SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ. SNDK) today introduced three high-speed card readers, the SanDisk ImageMate 12-in-1, ImageMate 5-in-1 and ImageMate CompactFlash (CF) readers. Ideal for owners of digital cameras and other consumer electronics devices, each new reader includes a one-step transfer button and software for the PC to simplify the most common tasks that people want to do with their photostransfer them to the hard drive, rename files and email them. The ImageMate readers are designed to quickly transfer pictures, digital video, music or any type of data to a computer via a high-speed USB 2.0 port. For easier image organizing, sharing and viewing, each reader is bundled with Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 Starter Edition software. SanDisk announced the new line of ImageMate card readers at Photokina where SanDisk is demonstrating products in Hall 1.2, aisle A, Booth #059. Matthijs Hutten, product marketing manager at SanDisk, said, Most consumers want to transfer their photos from the storage card in their digital camera to the computer. We believe the transfer button on these new readers is one of the easiest ways to do this and is much more versatile and cost effective than purchasing a separate docking station for the camera. ImageMate 12-in-1 Reader For maximum versatility, the 12-in-1 reader supports virtually every memory card format currently available with no additional adapters required. In addition, multiple cards can be inserted simultaneously for card-to-card data transfers. It comes with a docking station that is convenient for desktop owners who also want to use the ImageMate with their portable computers. For travel, the multi-card reader can be removed from its docking station and used with a short cable included with the reader/writer that allows for easy plug-in to the USB port of portable computers. The new reader can also be removed from its docking station for lightweight travel. Suggested retail price is $34.99. ImageMate 5-in-1 Reader For more format options than a single card reader, the 5-in-1 reader easily transfers files to and from multiple memory card formats. Suggested retail price is $19.99. CompactFlash Reader The single card reader easily transfers files to and from CompactFlash Type I and II cards. Suggested retail price is $19.99. Compatibility
* Native support (No additional card adapters required) The new readers will be available from October 2004 at many of the 80,000 stores worldwide that carry SanDisk products. All SanDisk ImageMate readers are true plug and play due to USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) compliance when used with Windows ME, Windows 2000 (SP3+), Windows XP and Mac OS 10.1.2+. The readers are fully compatible with Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, XP and Mac OS 9.2+, Mac OS X v10.1.2+.
I had a San Disk Imagemate Dual card reader and later purchased a Viking Intelliflash 6 in 1 card reader. Both are usb and I could mount the Compact Flash part of each reader with no problem. But, I was unable to access any of the other ports in either reader. I did the steps outlined on a RedHat 8.0 distro with an updated kernel ( us. ). The following resources helped a bit, as did the SxS mailing list.

Some laptops, such as from HP, come with fingerprint reader options. I have never seen this in action, but as I understand it, you can swipe your finger and it will automatically fill in any password field for you. On the web, this means the fingerprint reader must look through the page for password fields. HP apparently reuses something from Bioscrypt, called Verisoft, which was purchased from Cognizance. It actually reuses the accessibility API on Windows to look for password fields. Specifically, it must go through the MSAA tree looking for objects of ROLE_TEXT with STATE_PROTECTED. Believe it or not, I learned this by investigating a mysterious crash. Since crash-stats isnt handling most of my queries, its been difficult. But, by looking at Modules, I noticed that a foreign DLL called APSHook. dll was always present. Some Google searches led me to Spyware sites describing which company is responsible for what DLL. The maker was Cognizance Security. Errors in their site led me to suspect they were a dead company, and but I was able to finally find an article about them being purchased by Bioscrypt. Further searches for Firefox APSHook reveals people having all sorts of problems with sluggishness, lock ups, stack overflows, extra memory usage etc. I dont know why the crash occurs yet, perhaps they dont do an AddRef() where they need to, or perhaps were broken somewhere. Apparently the feature used to work in Firefox 2, although not officially supported by Verisoft. I called Bioscrypt support and they told me that Firefox isnt supported (which doesnt stop them from injecting a DLL that makes us crash). They promised to forward my email to the developers, so Ive sent them the information. Im not holding my breath, but well see what happens. Im sure HP is interested in letting their users enjoy Firefox 3. HP users who purchase the fingerprint reading option cant use it with reliably with Firefox 3. In general, web searches for Verisoft Firefox reveal that many users are frustrated about incompatibility with Firefox 3. In the meantime, isnt there generally a better way to support fingerprint readers and other single sign on products, than to use MSAA? Its not cross-platform, and it doesnt integrate with Firefoxs password management. Also, the Firefox accessibility support does take some memory and slow things down, because it needs to create a lot of objects and event listeners in order to function. That is why it is turned on only when needed. Using that for password management is overkill. There must be a better way. If youre interested, please see the fairly old ignored bug on integration with fingerprint readers. It has a few dupes and votes, but not enough to get it noticed. For my part, Im just interested in fixing the crash. Looking around the web though, there are a number of users torn between Firefox 3 and their fingerprint readers. It would be good if someone took an interest.

Gangs have developed tiny devices which can be secretly inserted inside the check-out card readers to unscramble codes and reveal the unwitting customers' pin numbers. The information is then used to their clone victims' cards in order to withdraw large sums of money abroad in countries where chip and pin technology is not in use. Police say 30 shops including several petrol stations - have already been targeted by the scam, which came to light after a suspected card fraud factory in Birmingham was raided on Monday. Gangs steal the card readers, insert the device and return it to the shop before anyone realises that a crime has been committed. During the Birmingham raid, carried out by the Dedicated Cheque and Plastic Crime Unit (DCPCU) made up of officers from Scotland Yard and the City of London Police - stolen chip and pin terminals, account numbers, card readers, computer software and counterfeit magnetic stripe cards were recovered. The introduction to Britain in 2006 of the chip and pin system, which requires shoppers to type in a number to a terminal at the check-out rather than simply signing, was intended to provide extra security for customers using credit and debit cards. But, after initially falling as a result of the new measures, card fraud has begun to increase again. Last year criminals stole 207.6 million abroad from credit and debit cards issued in the UK a 77 per cent increase on the previous year. Within the UK total card fraud was up six per cent to 327.6 million in the same period according to Apacs, the UK payments association. Detective Inspector John Folan, head of the DCPCU, said. "These arrests are a significant development in our fight against the organised criminal gangs responsible for this type of fraud." Sandra Quinn, of Apacs said. "Whereas fraudsters used to put pinhole cameras above the chip and pin device to get hold of the pin number, they now manipulate the chip and pin terminal to get that basic data. "They are getting hold of the pin from inside the reader. "They steal readers from retailers, cracking them open, and try to recreate one and then put it back in a shop. "We have been aware that this has been going on because police have been getting reports that terminals are being stolen. "We're not saying that this was the only gang in the country, but the good news is that on this occasion we were successful in stopping it." But she added that chip and pin remained the safest way to make payments and said there were a range of legal measures to protect victims. Two people were arrested after the Birmingham raid and charged with conspiracy to defraud.

Memory Card Readers Last month in Tidbits (page 78), we told you all about flash memory cards, those ubiquitous little wafers used for data storage in digital cameras, MP3 players, digital photo frames, and smartphones. This month, well tell you about the readers, or drives, that let you access memory cards with your computer. A reader is to memory cards what a DVD drive is to optical discs, or what an old floppy drive is to diskettes. Actually, reader is a misleading term. Its only half right because a memory card reader is also a memory card writer. Not only can you use a reader to open photos, songs, or documents stored on a flash memory card, but you also can save changes you make to them. Whats more, you can move new files to the card using a so-called reader.
To use a reader, you install it in or connect it to your PC, depending on whether its an internal or external model. Next, insert a flash card supported by the reader. Dont try to force it in. if the card doesnt go in easily, it might be upside down or in the wrong slot. If everything works correctly, Windows will automatically recognize the device and card. You may see an AutoPlay window asking you what you want to do with the files on the memory card. at the very least, you will see a new drive letter in Windows Explorer. When youre done using a card, click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the System Tray and then select the description of the flash memory..

A Smart Card is a computer chip contained on a circuit board. The smart card is typically used instead of a memory card in a device where the memory needs to be protected. Security information enabling access is programmed into the smart card. A Smart Card Reader is an interface which permits a device (such as a satellite television unit) to talk to the smart card. There are a wide variety of smart card readers, most of which can also write to the smart card. Within the context of a satellite television unit, a smart card reader built into the unit permits an individual to watch programming authorized by the smart card.
The consequences for being using an illegally reprogrammed smart card depend upon the amount of evidence possessed by the police or satellite television company. Even where the satellite television company has records showing that suspect equipment was purchased by somebody at a particular address, that may not be enough to act against the resident of that house. As smart card technology has many legal purposes, the mere possession of cards or readers is probably not enough to interest the police. While the satellite company can file a civil lawsuit for theft of service, after recent court rulings they will likely not file a lawsuit unless they believe that they can demonstrate that the smart card technology was used illegally. If a satellite television company files a lawsuit, under U. S. federal law it will ask for damages in the amount of lost subscription revenue (usually a high estimate based upon what could have been watched through use of the unauthorized smart card, as opposed to what was actually watched), and if victorious may also receive statutory damages of up to $10,000.00 per violation and an award of attorney fees and court costs. The attorney fee award may well be much larger than the amount found owing for unpaid satellite television fees. Damages may be significantly greater if the defendant is shown to have engaged in the manufacture, distribution, or modification of smart cards.

Use the Mobi Plug-in SD and microSD Reader, an ultra portable card reader, to transfer pictures, ringtones, videos, documents and more from your smartphone's memory card to your computer. Reads SD and microSD without adapter.
Transferring your photos, videos, music and data files between your digital devices and your PC is quick and easy, wherever you go, with SanDisks MobileMate SD Plus 5-in-1 Reader! Just plug your flash memory card directly into the reader and you're ready to roll.
SanDisk rolled out a couple of attractive card readers today, and the company says they're blazing fast. We're skeptical of the claim of 30MB/s (that's megabytes per second!) reading, and writing at 27MB/s, but even if those numbers are exaggerated, these two readers will do their work faster than ever and look scary-cool in the process. They're offered in two versions, the $30 All-in-One that supports every memory card available, and the $20 Multi-Card that handles xD, Memory Stick, SD, SDHC, and MMC. If they really do read and write that fast, you'll need one of the newer UDMA flash memory cards to take advantage of that speed. These look great, but the fastest card reader we've seen is our $36 Lexar UDMA reader, transferring gigs of pics with astonishing speed, especially when using a SanDisk Extreme Ducati Edition compact flash card. If these beauties can hold a candle to that Lexar, we're sold. Via Ubergizmo

SanDisk ImageMate Memory Card Readers Transfer Files Quickly and Conveniently Across Wide Variety of Memory Card FormatsSanDisk Corporation today announced that it has shipped the latest editions of its popular SanDisk ImageMate® memory card readers, which provide enhanced user experience through increased efficiency and faster data transfer rates. The new readers have shipped to retailers in North America and are available for purchase at this time. Faster, smaller and sleeker than their predecessors, and featuring upgraded software applications, the new ImageMate All-In-One and Multi-Card readers quickly and conveniently transfer data between a wide range of memory card formats and a host computer. The All-In-One memory card reader can reach speeds of up to 34 megabytes per second (MB/s)1 when using a SanDisk Extreme® IV 45MB/s CompactFlash® card, and the Multi-Card reader is capable of up to 30MB/s2 read and 27 MB/s write data transfer rates when using a SanDisk Extreme® III 30MB/s Edition SDHC™ card. Sporting a stylish glossy black and metallic silver design, each reader’s tripod base is detachable, creating instant portability. In addition to the traditional drag-and-drop method, the new SanDisk ImageMate readers streamline the process of
Transferring digital content by including a transfer button that automatically launches a user-defined application or web site. A single press of the reader’s button will open a designated application
Such as Adobe Photoshop™ or a flickr. com™ account, and from there the user can transfer or edit photos. SanDisk’s updated ImageMate software bundle enables customers to utilize the advanced features of both readers, simplifying the most common tasks that they want to perform—transferring photos to a PC, archiving and sharing them.“The new SanDisk ImageMate readers are two of the fastest and most reliable USB readers, capable of transferring 1-gigabyte3 of data in less than 35 seconds,” said Jennifer Lee, senior product marketing manager, SanDisk. “The ImageMate readers’ space-saving vertical design makes them unobtrusive on your desk, but with such stylish looks they can’t help but stand out.”Pricing and AvailabilityThe ImageMate All-In-One reader supports virtually every industry-standard memory card format currently available, and multiple cards can be inserted simultaneously for card-to-card data transfers.

Home > Credit Card ReaderCredit card readers, or magnetic stripe readers (MSR), are used to read the magnetic stripe on plastic cards, gift cards, credit cards, driver's licenses, security badges, etc. They're most often used for credit cards. Mag stripes have 1, 2, or 3 tracks of data. Gift cards, id cards and other specialty cards often use track 3. Track 1 & 2 are typically reserved for credit card use. Most credit card readers allow you to enable or disable tracks. MagTek and ID Tech have been sold and supported for many years by POS World. Select below to see available models and for more information.
Whoa, these are card readers? Mundane but necessary gadgets deserve essentialised designs, and SanDisk's new ImageMate All-in-One and Multi-card look a lot like Neil Poulton's bare, black and glossy hard drives for LaCie.
Can someone please explain to me the difference between a Card Reader and a Card Writer? Is it the same thing? Does this reader also write? I mean maybe it's common sense and it should just write but I'm not as educated. Thank you for an explanation. dimsum4u
@2-7offsuit is ioos. The transfer speed from camera to computer is usually slower than by using an external card reader. Plus you don't eat battery life from the camera by using a card reader rather than a the camera to transfer images. And if you're on assignment with a limited number of cards, you can be filling a card up while dumping images off of another onto your computer. Lot's of reasons to have one. EqualOpportunityCrasher
I've had one for a while. They actually provide the fastest download speeds for the SanDisk Extreme III 30MB/s SDHC cards. When transferring 16GB the faster the card reader the better. Personally I'd rather use the one built in my monitor but it wasn't SDHC compatible so I chose the ImageMate MultiCard reader. Alex Morrow
I've never needed "driver support" for a card reader in vista, they just plug play. As for the USB connector. [www. amazon. com] It *looks* like you don't need the stand to plug it in, but I could be wrong. Kyle Wilson
@Sir Gibler. shouldn't a card reader just work with out the drivers. my last imagemate worked with any os i plugged it in to. Elijah86
I've had one of thse for a couple months now and the magnetic base sucks. The reader pops off of it so easily so you cant insert or remove your memory card without holding the reader in one hand and the card in the other. It looks nice but is kind of a pain to use. aural
Card Readers are USELESS unless they are heavy enough to be used with one hand. Most are a two-handed ordeal, one hand to insert the card and one to hold the card reader in place. Units built into the desktop case or printer/all-in-one are ideal because of the weight. Laptop and portable readers are the exception, obviously. Lizard_King
The design on these is quite nice, although the "tripod" looks slightly awkward. But for my money, I prefer to just stick a floppy drive with a built-in card reader in my PC. Makes it as unobtrusive as possible, and then you don't get the "use one hand to keep the reader steady" problem mentioned above. Ubik2501
Very nice design. but when people ask about it and you tell them it's only a card reader, aren't you bound to hear a disappointing "oh"? ps. the legs take up too much space IMO. nautilus.
Actually, these card readers don't look that bad. There are some really hideous ones out there on the market. Zentaro

A Smart Card is a computer chip contained on a circuit board. The smart card is typically used instead of a memory card in a device where the memory needs to be protected. Security information enabling access is programmed into the smart card. A Smart Card Reader is an interface which permits a device (such as a satellite television unit) to talk to the smart card. There are a wide variety of smart card readers, most of which can also write to the smart card. Within the context of a satellite television unit, a smart card reader built into the unit permits an individual to watch programming authorized by the smart card.
The consequences for being using an illegally reprogrammed smart card depend upon the amount of evidence possessed by the police or satellite television company. Even where the satellite television company has records showing that suspect equipment was purchased by somebody at a particular address, that may not be enough to act against the resident of that house. As smart card technology has many legal purposes, the mere possession of cards or readers is probably not enough to interest the police. While the satellite company can file a civil lawsuit for theft of service, after recent court rulings they will likely not file a lawsuit unless they believe that they can demonstrate that the smart card technology was used illegally. If a satellite television company files a lawsuit, under U. S. federal law it will ask for damages in the amount of lost subscription revenue (usually a high estimate based upon what could have been watched through use of the unauthorized smart card, as opposed to what was actually watched), and if victorious may also receive statutory damages of up to $10,000.00 per violation and an award of attorney fees and court costs. The attorney fee award may well be much larger than the amount found owing for unpaid satellite television fees. Damages may be significantly greater if the defendant is shown to have engaged in the manufacture, distribution, or modification of smart cards.

[ned]s HandySwipe is a portable magnetic card reader. It runs on 4 AA batteries and collects data from track 2 cards. It uses a PIC 16F688 and displays the cards data on a small LCD. It can store up to 50 cards and dump them in CSV format. It will also output the raw bitstream for use with Aciduss StripeSnoop. Neds project write up is pretty interesting since he covers using a logic analyzer while swiping a card and driving the LCD with only three pins using a shift register.
Maybe Im missing something, but is there any other realistic practical use for this thing other than to steal? Is this site so desperate for material that it now resorts to criminal hardware manufacture tutorial? Dont get me wrong, i know its fascinating to learn how credit card readers/data recorders work, but can you honestly believe that featuring this how-to is not contributing to crime and innocent low income people from being ripped off? I know your going to say but this tech is already available on the internet, open source etc. but does that mean we need to perpetuate and spread it just because its available elsewhere? this site says we are not a cracking site, but yet this is a crack if i ever saw one.

Only two products are necessary for a SiPass standalone installation. one ARS6311-RX card reader and one ACS6311 IO-board. A SiPass standalone installation can also use two ARS6311-RX card readers (one at the entry, the other at the exit side of the door), enabling two-way passage control. The system setup utilizing an ACS6311 provides a higher level of security for access control by separating the reader at the door from the relay board mounted in the secure area.
The card reader integrates access control into the integral appearance of the sytem design, including card guidance and pilot LEDs. The security technology of all leading card reader suppliers fits neatly behind the Siedle front.

Children's reading and writing skills develop in a wide variety of ways, and our card reader programs offer a special audiovisual training method that targets the needs of many. Designed for early childhood, K-12 bilingual reading, language learners, ESL and adult learners, special education, as well as intergenerational and workforce literacy groups, Action Fundamentals enables students to link visible letters with the sounds they hear played back through the Cardmaster device. This repeated, multi-modal, kinesthetic, visual and auditory reinforcement helps solidify mental connections between the written and spoken word and is a useful teaching tool for assessment and literacy training.
As children begin to learn their vocabulary and how to properly speak a language, any method of practicing words on a daily basis is essential to their success. In using a technique that initiates repetitive action to better pronounce words, kids can improve their speaking skills at their own pace. The card readers that Califone® offers are perfect resources for helping students reach their full potential when learning to speak clearly. Students who are lacking in their speech-language development, are learning a foreign language or are enrolled in an ELD/ESL classroom can benefit from any of the following card readers. In this day and age, children are more competent with the latest technological advances and combining their tech-savvy skills with speech-language therapy is a winning solution. The AV Tutor™ digital card reader features a design and shape that today’s youth is familiar with. By engaging young learners with its sound clarity and vibrant, visual animation, this card reader ensures students remain focused on improving their language aptitude. Students can gain the confidence they need by working independently on fundamental reading instruction on phonemic awareness, vocabulary and comprehension activities. Not only do the CardMaster™ Card Readers aid students with pronunciation of words, they teach them how to write them too. The various pre-recorded card programs that are available allow students to visually match the picture to the word on the card so they can recognize its description and how to spell it. Once the card is scanned through the card reader, they will also know how to correctly sound it out. The 2010AV and 2020AV card reader provides students who are not reading at the same level as their peers with the ability to practice correct pronunciation at a rate they are comfortable with. The built-in mic in both readers gives kids the ability to record their audio responses so they can listen to their own pronunciation of the words and compare it to what they hear with the pre-recorded cards so they can review their progress. The 2020AV card reader has a student/teacher track electronic memory feature that permanently records the teacher’s and/or student’s vocal response onto a card program card and repeats it until a new card is scanned. When teachers want their younger students to focus on their listening skills, the Califone® READER card reader is the optimal choice so they can practice pronunciation on their own without supervision. This “play-only” card reader just does that – it only plays the cards being scanned and does not feature a built-in mic for recording audio responses. Smaller kids can use this player to continuously rehearse their pronunciation of words so they can begin to feel more confident in their reading ability. A variety of card programs for all of the Califone® card readers are available in both full-color card and digital cartridge formats. To learn some of the most vital daily vocabulary words, children can practice with the two Basic Vocabulary and the two Everyday Word card programs. They can then segue into other programs that are more subject-specific such as Sight Words, Telling Time, Survival Signs, Money Words, Food Words and many more. There are seven digital cartridges for the AV Tutor™ consisting of Picture Words, Phonics, Readiness, Survival Signs, Basic Vocabulary, Everyday Words and also an animated, interactive program Play Ball. This program contains an interactive tutorial with a self-checking function that prevents students from continuing until they respond with the correct answer. Download Document
I have a camera using 256MB XD, my sister got a Fuji F30 one using 1GB XD and I use 2GB MicroSD for my NDS. I only need a reader for XD since the cameras work anyway, but my sisters use a non-standard mini-usb variant so if the reader takes XD and can handle that one it would be nice to. I have one reader which I got with a magazine subscription, USB 1.1, sees the 2GB card, quite slow but what do you expect, corrupts the data on the card very often. Not reliable at all and a piece of shit. This autumn I bought another one, USB 2.0, but 2GB microSD wasn't available in europe so got 512MB, worked well until I got my 2GB card and found out it only supports 1GB. My MicroSD card is Sandisk Ultra II 66/60x rating so it can transfer data at 10/9 MB/s so I'd prefer a fast reader/writer. SVP got one from Sweex which seems popular, specs says us. kbps, 0.5MB/s? Only 4000 seconds or 67 minutes to fill my card? No thanks. They have a few datawrites, no speed mentioned. They have one from kingston, no speed mentioned (well, USB 2.0 upto 480mbps!.) and finally they had Veneco or something like that, no mention about speed their either. But if it's similair to this page. it's quite slow. They also have a datawrite microsd only version, that one would do if it's not slow as shit and supports my card. So where can I find an affordable FAST card reader/writer, which doesn't corrupt my cards and which can handle large cards?
I had a similar problem (here with a 1GB xD card). Fortunately the manufacturer offered a newer firmware (Yes, you can flash cardreaders, at least some of them), now that beast is not only recognized as USB 2.0 device (it wasn't before) but it can read my 1 GB xD card without problems. So it is worth checking, if there is some newer firmware for your reader. Michael

Well, the issue here is that I bought the card reader at Biltema which is a company which mostly sell car accessories, but also some other random stuff they find nice to sell.D Price and quality are often good, but the card reader is unbranded and they doesn't seem to have any updates. I guess there could be for the chip thought, but I'll try to return it instead saying I bought it to use it with my 2GB card.. It's this chip. But I don't know if firmwares are generic.
Try a Sony MRW-620. This model can be only found in stores that sell OEM parts. The reader's pretty good and what's best is that it can be used internally or externally

Memory Card Readers Last month in Tidbits (page 78), we told you all about flash memory cards, those ubiquitous little wafers used for data storage in digital cameras, MP3 players, digital photo frames, and smartphones. This month, well tell you about the readers, or drives, that let you access memory cards with your computer. A reader is to memory cards what a DVD drive is to optical discs, or what an old floppy drive is to diskettes. Actually, reader is a misleading term. Its only half right because a memory card reader is also a memory card writer. Not only can you use a reader to open photos, songs, or documents stored on a flash memory card, but you also can save changes you make to them. Whats more, you can move new files to the card using a so-called reader.
To use a reader, you install it in or connect it to your PC, depending on whether its an internal or external model. Next, insert a flash card supported by the reader. Dont try to force it in. if the card doesnt go in easily, it might be upside down or in the wrong slot. If everything works correctly, Windows will automatically recognize the device and card. You may see an AutoPlay window asking you what you want to do with the files on the memory card. at the very least, you will see a new drive letter in Windows Explorer. When youre done using a card, click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the System Tray and then select the description of the flash memory..
