cryptovision SCinterface eID is a powerful middleware designed to integrate electronic proof of identity (eID) cards into various IT environments. It serves as a crucial bridge between the eID card chip and operating systems or applications, enabling secure access to digital services, electronic signatures, and authentication. The solution supports digital signatures, certificate-based authentication, and secure communication protocols like PACE for smart card access. It is built to accommodate over 100 combinations of chips, profiles, and operating systems, making it suitable for organizations using diverse eID card types or planning to migrate to new technologies. SCinterface eID offers a modular, cross-platform architecture supporting Windows, macOS, and Linux, and integrates with existing infrastructures via standards such as PKCS#11, Microsoft CSP, Minidriver, Crypto Token Driver, and PC/SC. It also supports certificate management through PKCS#10, PKCS#12, and PKCS#15. An optional biometric extension provides a match-on-card function for enhanced security and user convenience. Typical applications include secure authentication, web logins, digital signatures, VPN/WLAN access, and Single Sign-On.
