Smart Card Girl

[Cathy]

Need make decision on which smart card/token to use with Dekart, few issues come up.

1.Some cards/token in Dekart support list which support RSA, and some not. Does Dekart software utilize the on card RSA?
2.The size of card/token 8 K/16K/32K/64K/128K
3.The driver of token/reader, Do we need CCID compliance?

Cathy, any of those smart cards or tokens will do, so I think that the deciding factor will be the price or the availability of the product.

The RSA abilities of the cards are not used, we have developed our own routines to handle the tasks. You've noticed yourself - not all cards have that, which means that compatibility issues would arise (if we assumed that each card has that).

When it comes to the size, the rule 'the more, the better' still applies. If you plan to use the card with other software, or if you intend to use biometric authentication - extra space will come handy, because biometric IDs take quite some space (that depends on the particular unit).

CCID compliance does not have an impact on the performance/functionality of our software.
