Description

Cryptovision SCinterface integrates credentials from smartcards, tokens, remote tokens and virtual smartcards into common IT environments.

With increasing security concerns, using only usernames and passwords for login is no longer considered secure. Better options like smart cards and security tokens provide stronger security measures. Smart cards, extensively used in banking and electronic IDs, demonstrate reliable security technology, with recent improvements like VSC and RSC making them even more effective.

    • Cryptovision SCinterface:

SCinterface is advanced smart credential middleware ideal for customers demanding a high security level without compromising flexibility. The flexibility SCinterface delivers allows for a single token to become a multipurpose device. SCinterface makes it easy to consolidate physical access with payment applications, secure website access, and digital form signing.

    • eIDAS compliance:

SCinterface supports „Siegel“ tokens and signature cards compliant with the European digital signature regulation, eIDAS.

    • Platforms:

SCinterface is available for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS. A user can use the same smart card on different platforms.

    • Smart Card Types:

SCinterface supports more than 100 card/token types and profiles, including the latest Java Card generations and cards supplied by Eviden, Infineon, NXP, Gemalto, G&D, Siemens, and Austria Card. All common smart card form factors are supported.

    • Plug-ins:

The functionality of SCinterface can be extended with a plug-in that informs the user about soon-to-expire certificates and with another plug-in that automatically imports root certificates stored on the smart card.

    • Convenience Kit:

Via add-ons (available in a convenience kit), SCinterface supports match-on-Card fingerprint authentication (SCinterface biometric), VSC support (SCinterface VSC), as well as secure PIN caching (SCinterface Cache).

    • Microsoft Virtual Smart Card:

SCinterface supports Microsoft Virtual Smart Card (MS VSC), including initialization and personalization processes. Thus, SCinterface enables the use of existing infrastructure in the case of a (partial) migration to MS VSC.

    • Crypto Interfaces:

SCinterface interoperates with virtually every application program on the market (e.g. Edge, Firefox, Outlook), supporting all major crypto interfaces: PKCS#11, CSP, Minidriver, and CTK.

    • eID Documents:

Government eID projects with millions of cards issued require coverage of all common platforms for broad user acceptance. SCinterface covers all major operating systems and supports modern security protocol standards like PACE.
