vSEC:ID Multi Terminal is a Windows application that allows remote access to physical smart cards, enabling smart card-based authentication and security functions on remote or virtual machines, even when a smart card is not physically connected to the remote device. The solution is designed for environments with multiple workstations, cloud, or virtual setups where users need to access secure credentials across different terminals. It operates at a low communication level, making it compatible with various smart cards and legacy systems, and uses encrypted channels to ensure secure data transmission between hosts.

Key Features

Remote Smart Card Access Allows a physical smart card connected to one host to be accessed by a remote PC or virtual machine.

• Enables smart card logon and authentication on remote systems.
• No need for a physical smart card reader on the remote workstation.

Low-Level Communication Operates below the PC/SC layer, ensuring broad compatibility.

• Works with various types of smart cards.
• Supports legacy and modern smart card environments.

Encrypted Communication Channel Secures the data transmitted between the host and remote system.
