Smart Cards

Smart Cards are the core business of United Access. Talking about smart cards we assume intelligent micro-controller cards with cryptographic capabilities and an operating system running on a dedicated security hardware.

This gives a very broad range of controllers and operating systems. Within this large field we focus on independent platforms (not linked to a card manufacturer) mainly for IT security and general purpose. We are not active in the GSM business.

We guarantee intimate knowledge of the components we offer – including all technical support a customer would need to start up a project with one of our products.

Cards, modules and operating systems are only one part – the other side is software (mainly PC based) to talk to the cards and reliable readers to interface the modules. Due to the standardization work of the PC/SC workgroup the main interoperability problems are solved. Today smart cards can be seen as a mature and well established technology with almost no technical risks.

Infineon SICRYPT®

United Access is an official provider for the Infineon smart card operating system SICRYPT®  as well as the primary support partner.

Infineon SICRYPT CardModule Card
for Windows XP / 2003 / Vista / Server 2008 / Windows 7 / Windows 8 / Windows 10 / Windows 11

Microsoft has defined a new CSP model – the so called “Microsoft Base Smart Card CSP” working with dedicated card modules. This model is part of Windows Vista and all later versions. The idea is to provide one CSP interface to applications (implemented by Microsoft) and request only small card modules from card operating system vendors.

The Infineon SICRYPT CardModule card is one out of 2 pre-installed card module cards under Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.

For Windows 7, Windows 10 and Windows 11 United Access offers an add-on setup to install the card module and make registry settings as required (32 and 64 bit version available). This setup can be found in the download section (for registered and activated users only). United Access offers a PKCS #11 module (32 and 64 bit version available); PKCS#11 requires a special pre-initialization of SICRYPT cards.

The architecture of CardOS is based on the idea of a general purpose platform with a number of loadable standard packages depending on the target application / project to be implemented.

For integration into various operating systems middleware products like CSP and PKCS #11 (CardOS API) can be offered.
