Reference Manual for uTrust 5501 F Reader/Writer Module
3.6.
Applications
3.6.1.
General
uTrust 5501 F is a transparent reader/module designed to interface a personal computer host
supporting PC/SC interface with 13.56 MHz/125 KHz user tokens, like public transport cards,
contactless banking cards, electronic identification documents (e.g., e-‐passports, e-‐ID cards, drivers
licenses, etc.), ISO 7816 smart cards such as CAC and PKI, health insurance cards, and synchronous
memory.
User credentials can have several form factors, including credit cards, key fobs, NFC mobile devices,
or USB dongles such as Identiv’s uTrust Token family.
uTrust 5501 F incorporates a SAM slot for SIM-‐sized.
uTrust 5501 F handles the communication protocol with the card but not with the application related
to the token or card. The application-‐specific logic has to be implemented by software developers on
the host.
