USB security stick
- wanted item
The M-286 is a cryptographic security token in the shape of an USB stick,
developed my Mils Electronic
in Mils (Austria) in the early 2000s, as a replacement for the ageing
M-775 MilsCard which was PCMCIA-based.
The M-286 is used with the current System 200 products.

The image on the right shows a typical M-286 USB token that look just
like an avarage memory stick. Inside the M-286 is Mils' proprietary
tamper-proof M-111 security processor.
The M-286 replaces the earlier PCMCIA based M-275 Key Module, also known
as the MilsCard, which in turn replaced the M-775 Key Module.
The M-286 offers enhanced security over the M-775, but is backwards
compatible. Furthermore, it has a built-in noise generator for creating
truely random OTP key sequences,
so that the old external PC card is no longer needed.

As the M-286 is backwards compatible with the earlier MilsCards (M-275
and M-775), it is also called MilsCard. It is currently used at the heart
of all products of the 200-family.
For enhanced security, the MilsCard is
now complemented by the OneCube
portable security unit.
