How does it work?
Instead of a username and password, Sub Rosa uses US Government CAC or PIV smart cards and PINs with authentication to a micro-USB card reader accessory or derived credential. This authentication allows you to log-in to two-factor websites and sign, encrypt, and decrypt email. It also gives you full access to calendaring, which makes managing and coordinating meetings easier than ever.
