INSTALLATION
Windows Installation
The Smart Card Reader is automatically detected and installed on Windows
operating systems. Just plug the cable into a USB port of your computer.
EXAMPLES OF USE OF THE DEVICE
Installation of additional software for Smart Card reading and online
services
In order to read or access the services provided through Smart Cards or
online portals, it is necessary to install software provided by the organization
providing the service.
Italian Electronic Identity Card
The new Electronic Identity Card (CIE) can be requested from your
Municipality of residence. Together with the CIE a PIN code is also provided
which is necessary for its use.
To use the Electronic Identity Card with the HUSCR-NFC reader, it is
necessary to install the CIE Software which can be downloaded for free from
the CIE Portal at www.cartaidentita.interno.gov.it. The CIE Software (also
called "middleware") is the software required to use the Electronic Identity
Card for online access to the services provided by the Public Administration.
To pair your CIE with the CIE Software, proceed as follows:
1. Double click on the “CIE-Middleware-<VERSION>.exe” file to install the
downloaded software. If Microsoft's User Account Control (UAC) screen
appears, click “YES” to continue.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
3. Start the CIE Middleware software and follow the instructions to verify and
pair your CIE.
4. During the procedure you will be asked to place the CIE on the reader and
to enter the PIN code (8 digits).
5. At the end of the procedure, the CIE will be enabled for use. Click OK to
finish.
Digital Signature
An example of software used for digital signature is the DIKE software. This
software is available for free download on InfoCert website
(www.firma.infocert.it/prodotti/dikegosign.php). This software will allow you to
sign your documents by reading the smart card.
We recommend to contact the customer service of your smart card provider
to find out the correct software to use.

SPID authentication of level 3.
