The BluStor platform is a mobile identity and data security system that utilizes a smart card to, as we like to say, 'separate the keys to mobile security from the device.' The smart card — which looks like a credit card, with a computer chip in it — has been around a long time, and recent developments by BluStor engineers have made it much more powerful. The BluStor card can hold several gigabytes of information, has a long-lasting and rechargeable battery, and communicates using Bluetooth 4.0/LE (that's Low Energy). There's more to it than that, of course. Visit our Platform section for more information.

From the Memory Protection Unit and hardware-based Random Number Generator, to encryption that includes symmetric algorithms and asymmetric PKI co-processor, security is an integral part of the BluStor platform. Read more about these features in our Security section.

Bluetooth technology is a short-range communications technology that is simple, secure. Unlike some classes of Bluetooth devices such as headsets, mice, and keyboards, the BluStor card does not readily/blindly connect to another Bluetooth device. Instead, the BluStor card can be configured so that it will connect and exchange data with another counterpart Bluetooth device only upon proper authentication of a user and a device.

Biometrics—those unique personal characteristics: fingerprints, voice, iris, handprint, that can be used to prove identity with a high degree of accuracy — have been recognized by experts as the only effective means to authenticate a person’s identity. Biometrics cannot be stolen or fogotten and are difficult to forge, making them ideal for identity authentication. Biometric systems are now in use in large-scale U.S. government systems, including the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and Federal Bureau of Investigation.

BluStor meets all of the requirements for the most demanding applications, including medical, financial and border identification—while reducing the burden on users and security administrators. Find out more at our Applications secion.
