PlatinumSecure enhances the secure logon procedure for Windows
Millenium Edition (Me) or 2000 at the Windows operating system
level. It provides user authentication through its encryption/
decryption function using the SmartCard. If your SmartCard is
unavailable, you can use the Emergency Diskette as a temporary
replacement card.
PlatinumKey auto-authenticate and auto cache with one-click
logons to all password-required websites (patent pending),
eliminates the overhead costs associated with memorizing and
typing user IDs and passwords when surfing the Internet with
Microsoft or Netscape web browsers.
A card slot for your SmartCard is located on the left panel of the
computer right above the hard disk bay. This new security feature
helps you boot up your computer with all your settings built right into
your SmartCard. You dont have to remember your password to access
your computer.
To remove the SmartCard press the SmartCard (a) and remove the
SmartCard (b) as shown in the illustration below.
