Crescendo® C700 smart cards are high-end products that enable logical and physical access control for the enterprise market for support in multiple environments. The smart card is delivered in conjunction with middleware that exposes a PKCS#11 interface to perform smart card management & PKI-based operations. Thanks to PKCS#11 services, this smart card can be supported in several applications to support Domain Logon, Virtual Private Network (VPN), secure email, Secure Web Access and wireless LAN authentication.
With the Crescendo® C700 smart card, a card holder doesn’t have to carry multiple credentials, nor does he/she need to remember multiple passwords or PINs. Instead, users have one single smart card as a convergence solution for access to logical or physical resources.
