Introduction
Boost your security, simplify access procedures and reduce the costs associated with managing networks by preventing unauthorized
access to your computers and networks using smartcard technology with the HP Smart Card CCID Keyboard.
The HP Smart Card CCID Keyboard includes Circuit(s) Cards Interface Device (CCID), the new standard for Smartcard keyboards. It is an
approach to Smartcard reader communication, a standard communication protocol for smart card readers/keyboards that connect to a
computer via USB with the computer.
Standard device drivers from Microsoft are included within Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Vista, which allow the keyboard to
simply integrate with the PC. The keyboard is also compatible with Windows XP, and users will need to install the XP drivers to the PC
from CD that is included.
The USB Smart card CCID Keyboard is a full-sized keyboard that takes advantage of digital signatures and certificates to secure the
environment for transactions performed on both public and private networks. The USB Smart Card CCID Keyboard works with all
smartcards that comply with ISO standard 7816.
Smart Cards are easy-to-use credit card-sized devices which require multiple forms of information to be validated before you gain
access to your accounts or resources. Used worldwide, smartcards strengthen access to a network or other resource using dual-factor
authentication. Implementing a two-factor authentication (or multi-factor authentication) process reduces the risk of unauthorized
access by verifying and validating your identity in one of the following ways:
Something you know – a combination of username and password or pin
Something you have – a Smart Card or security token.
Something you have (Smart Card) plus something you know (pin), improves user-access security within corporate network
environments. Smart Cards are used in government agencies, healthcare companies and the finance industry.
HP ProtectTools Smart Card Manager provides authentication software for the Smart Card. The Smart Card Reader module works with
the HP ProtectTools Security Manager and enables the user to setup, use, and manage the Smart Card. This allows strengthened
security with HP patented technology.
