The ID-One Classic smart card has been developed specifically to respond to the increased security requirements expressed by business and governmental agencies. The solution has obtained the most stringent security certifications on the market: Common Criteria EAL 4+ SSCD protection profile certification for secure electronic signature and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification as required by the US Department of Defense.
Windows Vista integrates functions dedicated to smart card management, such as Smart Card Base CSP and Smart Card KSP. The link between Windows Vista and the smart card must be provided by a mini-driver (middleware) designed to Microsoft specifications.
Compliance of mini-drivers with Microsoft specifications is validated through the Windows Smartcard Framework Certification Program. Oberthur Card Systems worked in close liaison with the Microsoft test center based in Dublin, Ireland throughout the ‘Logo Ready’ pilot phase of this program.
