Versatile Secure Digital Certificate Storage and Usage
FortiToken 310 is a Smart Card USB token that is a USB-interfaced device offering a variety of
security capabilities including certificate-based public key infrastructure (PKI) authentication,
digital signing, encrypting/decrypting files such as emails and documents, VPN client
authentication, and more.
In digital certificate-based PKI applications, private keys play an important role in asymmetric
cryptography. The FortiToken 310 is a high-security PKI based token that ensures private
keys are generated, stored and used internally in a secure chip, meaning the keys are never
at risk of being stolen. The FortiToken 310 token is FIPS 140-2 validated and fully certified
to ensure this level of protection meets the highest standards. The FortiToken 310 token is
a USB-interfaced device that requires no drivers (i.e., driverless) for most operating system
(OS) including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is natively recognized by the OS, making it easy
to use with no plugins necessary. Cryptographic Applications can be authenticated with the
FortiToken 310 token based on Microsoft Cryptographic Application Programming Interface
(CAPI)* and Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #11**.
