The SmartSwipe Credit Card Reader from NetSecure is an innovative security device for computers running Windows XP, Vista, or 7 with Internet Explorer 6 or higher. The USB device allows you to swipe your credit card to complete online purchases, just as you would when using it at a store.
Swiping your card prevents malicious software from capturing your credit card information. It blocks "phishing" sites which attempt to deceive you into transmitting your credit card information to an unknown source. It also provides protection from Man in the Middle attacks.
Traditional online security only protects your credit card data as it is being transmitted from your computer to a merchant. Your credit card information is still stored in your computer's memory, making it vulnerable to malicious software that could be hiding on your computer. SmartSwipe prevents your credit card number from being stored in this manner, helping to prevent others from stealing your credit card information.
