Before you purchase a USB token or smart card, please make sure that it has enough memory to store the identity keys of the user (ID file for Lotus Notes, ICA-connection, biometric identifiers etc.). Define all of your anticipated present and future card usage requirements and the memory requirements for each certificate and application that you require. Also, when planning storage space on the chip, allocate space for applications that you are planning for future implementation. You can determine the memory usage of the card and read the USB token or smart card using the Dekart Key Manager Utility, as well as delete all unnecessary information using Dekart Key Manager or formattakey the token or smart card using a Key Formatting utility or Corporate Key formatting utility. Key storage device can have one PIN-code for all Dekart applications, and another PIN code for other applications, or a single PIN code for the device.
