English 67 Using the SmartCard This software includes the following components: PlatinumPAS™, PlatinumSecure™ and PlatinumKey™. Together, they provide you with multiple levels of security. • PlatinumPAS implements the first security measure at the BIOS level and runs during the BIOS routine check when a computer is powered up or rebooting. If no SmartCard or Emergency Card is detected, the computer will stop booting up to prevent any illegal access to the system. • PlatinumSecure enhances the secure logon procedure for your Windows at the 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 Card 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 slot for your SmartCard is located on the left panel of the computer. This new security feature helps you boot up your computer with all your settings built right into your SmartCard. You don't have to remember your password to access your computer.
