    About virtual smart cards in Smart ID Desktop App

    Virtual smart cards in Smart ID Desktop App (Personal Desktop App) is based on Microsoft Virtual Smart Card (VSC) and Universal Windows Platform (UWP) technology and uses the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip, which is available in many computers, rather than requiring a separate physical smart card and reader. The solution uses native Microsoft mini-driver for communication with the VSC. 

    A virtual smart card that is provisioned with the relevant certificates, can be used by Microsoft Base Smart Card Cryptographic Service Provider (BaseCSP) for most Windows-related use cases. See Features of Smart ID Desktop App. 

    Smart ID Desktop App is integrated to Hermod for message distribution between Smart ID Desktop App and remote provisioning / verification entities such as Smart ID Identity Manager (PRIME) and Smart ID Digital Access component (Hybrid Access Gateway). 

    Manage lifecycle of virtual smart cards
