The Advanced Smartcard Access Control System (ASACS) was developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in conjunction with Datakey and Trusted Information Systems. The system includes a smartcard with public key capabilities and a portable reader/writer with computational capabilities, including a microprocessor, programmable memory, a keypad, and an LCD display. Through the use of a layered interface, ASACS was integrated into several demonstration programs and into the TIS Privacy Enhanced Mail (TIS/PEM) system. This paper provides a brief overview of the ASACS.
