As various industries set higher requirements for information security, secure storage based on hardware is gradually replacing secure storage based on software functions. As a result, the secure storage chip market has experienced rapid growth. At the same time, as a main production base for U disks, storage cards, and SSD hard disks, China has become the world’s largest secure storage chip market. In the USB-key field, as the carrier of customer digital certificates and private keys for online banks, USB keys play an important role in online customer identity authentication. In addition, this role is set to become even more important due to the rapid growth of the population of individual online banking users, the population of enterprise online users, and the online banking transaction scale. Banks adopt USB key as authentication tools for transaction operations to ensure transaction security, which promotes further development of China’s USB key chip market.
