What is CAC?
Mandated by Homeland Security Presidential
Directive 12 (HSPD-12), CAC is a type of
smart card created by the U.S. government
and used by U.S. military and government
staff. The CAC card is a multitechnology,
multipurpose card; the goal is to have a single
identification card. For more information, see
the FIPS 201 standards.

cards/CAC?
All Dominion KX II models are supported. The
Dominion KSX II and

and CAC.
Do enterprise and SMB customers
use smart cards, too?

deployment of smart cards is in the U.S.
federal government.

The D2CIM-DVUSB, D2CIM-DVUSB-DVI,
