The added feature to the KT-3 token over the other members of the KT family of tokens, is that it supports HID capabilities. The HID, or proximity, functionality of the KT-3 is completely separate from its OTP functionality.
The KT-3 Key Chain token generates a new passcode each time the token is activated. The token is activated by pressing the button beside the LCD display.
Recommended usage
- Authenticate users at network, system, application, and desktop levels
- Secure internal and remote network access
- Compatible with leading remote access servers, wireless access points, Web servers, firewalls, and VPNs
- Allow HID access for employees
Programmable Tokens
KT-3 tokens can be initialized with a new key using the optional KT initializer, available from CRYPTOCard. The token can also be reprogrammed to modify password complexity, encryption algorithms and other attributes.
KT-3 tokens are programmable and support a wide range of operating modes that can be modified using a KT token initializer, according to organizational and security policy requirements. The initialization process requires 10-15 seconds per token.

HID Capabilities
The KT-3 contains a 125 Khz. proximity transponder, which enables it to
unlock doors controlled by electronic door management systems (HID
Corporation's H10301 format).
Simply bring the KT-3 close to the proximity reader adjacent to a door
and, if the user of that KT-3 is permitted access, the door will unlock.
The KT-3 includes a built-in power source that provides 5+ years of service. A low battery warning will appear on the LCD display approximately two months before the batteries are exhausted.
CRYPTOCard provides a 3-year limited warranty for the KT-3 token.
