Smart Sign

Smart Sign

Smart Sign provides software suitable for smartcard based digital signature and both local and remote authentication security services.

It can also be used to integrate smart card technology into a working Certification Authority that issues public key certificates for the users through the web. 

Smart Sign works with different kinds of smart cards. There are modules that work with Schlumberger's Cyberflex Access 16K and Cryptoflex 16K smart cards and any JavaCard 2.1.1 compliant smart card (i.e. both Schlumberger's Cyberflex Access 32K and Gemplus P11/PK).  It also works with a smart card reader supported by the M.U.S.C.L.E. Project.
