Question

Can SecureLogin be integrated with smart cards?

Resolution

Answer

Beginning with v6, SecureLogin can be fully integrated with smart cards, including the following features;

  • Storing application credentials on the smart card
  • Handling the scenario if a user forgets/loses their smart card
  • Re-verifying the PIN before passing credentials to logon to an SSO enabled application or at other designated times e.g. Printing from a sensitive application
  • Encrypting SSO data using the user’s PKI credentials (public key, decryption using the private key stored on the smart card)
  • Detecting whether the user logged on using a smart card/PIN or password and behaving accordingly (e.g. only start SSO and/or logon to applications if the user logs on with a smart card)
