All our products can be applied to any platform that supports smart cards, such as Windows 10, Windows Vista, Mac OS, and Linux Redhat and Ubuntu. No additional drivers are needed. All products are also offered with the state-of-the-art Java Card-based smart card operating system Sm@rtCafé® Expert. It supports a wide range of crypto features such as AES, RSA, elliptic curves, and SHA.
A wide range of use cases
Potential use scenarios include securing access to enterprise applications and VPN connections. Our hardware security module can also be applied to authenticate users and to sign transactions. This is especially helpful for online and mobile banking. It is also useful for identity and access management solutions, as well as for eGovernment applications – eTax filing, for example. Additionally, it is widely used to secure online applications or mobile devices.
Card personalization and individualization services are available with all of our hardware products. We can provide optical personalization like card or token body printing, and electronic personalization such as pre-installation and configuration of PKI applications.
StarSign® means trustworthy identities and transactions
All over the world, our PKI-based solutions are the backbone of IT security infrastructures. PKI offers very strong protection levels against hacker malware. It uses public and private keys for encrypting and signing data. And it creates a safe chain of trust to protect internet data. Authentication based on PKI credentials is the most stringent type of security. These credentials can also serve for encryption and digital signatures at the highest level when deployed on smart card technology.
Our FIDO-based solutions rely on free and open standards from the FIDO Alliance. These protocols use standard public key cryptography to provide stronger authentication, thereby enabling password-only logins to be replaced with secure, fast login experiences across websites and apps. Our solutions are based on standards like FIDO U2F, FIDO UAF, and FIDO2, which are becoming established in the market.
