SmartCard for protecting your opened documents
The range of functions of the SmartCard enables you to interrupt your work. Thanks to the
SmartCard, you can leave your workstation unattended without unauthorised persons being able to
access your opened documents and data.
Ê
Pull the SmartCard out of the workstation during your work session.
A window appears stating that the system is locked.
Ê
When you want to continue your work, insert the SmartCard and enter your PIN.
You return to your opened documents.
SmartCard for creating user profiles
With the
Smarty
software you can assign individual rights for different users within a network with the
same basic installation under Windows 2000 and Windows XP. You save these individual user
profiles on the SmartCards of the individual users with
Smarty
. As a result, each user finds his/her
individual configuration at any workstation within the network simply by inserting his/her SmartCard.
Please see the documentation and the online help on the CD for the
Smarty
software for instructions
on how to create the personal user profiles.
Using SmartCard for digital signatures
In place of credit card numbers or a bank connection, many e-commerce suppliers also accept
SmartCards for concluding sales contracts. Observe the corresponding information at the websites
you visit. A prerequisite for this is Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
Using SmartCard for e-mail encryption
To encrypt your e-mails using your SmartCard under Windows 2000/Windows XP you require an e-
mail program that permits SmartCard encryption.
Using SmartCard for online banking
To use the security function of the SmartCard for homebanking, first you need an account at a bank
that supports homebanking according to the standard HBCI (Homebanking Computer Interface). In
addition, you also require a homebanking program.
