Description

CardOS Security Token for a variety of Applications
The CardOS Security Token is perfect for IT environments and devices without an integrated smart card reader, eliminating the need for an additional card reader compared to smart-card-based solutions. It supports various authentication options, including PKI functionality, OTP, and FIDO, in any combination:

    • CardOS Security Token as FIDO 2 Authenticator
    • CardOS Security Token as FIDO2 Authenticator with integrated PKI functionality (PKCS#15, CardOS API / SCinterface)
    • CardOS Security Token as FIDO2 Authenticator with PKI and OTP (for use with CardOS SmartOTP)
    • CardOS Security Token with PKI and optional OTP

Hardware and OS Platform
CardOS USB V5.6, the smart card OS platform used in the CardOS Security Token, is based on Infineon’s innovative digital security technology ‘Integrity Guard’ and is implemented on the SLE78 security controller platform. The chip used is the SLE78CLUFX5000PHM, with which around 160 kB of user memory is available.

CardOS USB V5.6 is a multifunctional native smart card operating system, expandable by customized packages to enhance or modify its functionality. It offers state-of-the-art cryptographic algorithms, including AES, SHA-2, and elliptic curves.

Communication Protocols
USB protocols:

    • CCID

      – for the usage with commonly installed reader drivers on Windows, Linux, and macOS
      – for standard enterprise usage with smart card middleware, CardOS API / SCinterface with standard applications that use the interfaces Minidriver, PKCS#11, and CTK

    • HID

      – to support the FIDO2.0/2.1 authenticator specification

Transmission protocol according to ISO/IEC:

    • T=CL (ISO/IEC 14443-4 protocol Type A)
    • Support of extended length APDUs according to ISO/IEC 7816-4
    • Contactless card communication with up to 848 kbaud
    • NFC Tag Type 4
