The article reviews KOBIL mIDentity, a portable USB security device combining a SmartCard reader, flash storage, and security software. Depending on the version, it could encrypt and sign files and emails, store passwords, automate logins, support Windows Smart Card Logon, synchronize Outlook data, and securely store user profiles and backups.
The article also notes that software version 1.4.1 showed clear improvements over an earlier release. In testing, it ran stably, Outlook synchronization created no duplicates, and passwords were not stored unencrypted on the flash memory. Kossel also mentions a prototype version designed to run without installation, further improving portability.
