For a smooth integration of Apollo OS smart cards, Contact, Contactless or Dual-Interface with IT systems, a standard middleware is required.

SCsquare offers its client a selection of the following solutions:
- CSP (cryptographic service provider)
- PKCS#11
- Smart Card MiniDriver
CSP (Cryptographic Service Provider) is a smart card interface DLL, digitally signed by Microsoft and supported since Windows 2000. CSP is currently phased out in favor of the new Smart Card MiniDriver.

PKCS#11 (Public Key Cryptography Standard #11) is the common alternative to CSP, and is used for integration of smart cards with application that does not support CSP such as FireFox, ThunderBird, Novell, etc.

Smart Card MiniDriver is an improved and enhanced solution for integration of smart card with Microsoft Windows Environments. SCsquare MiniDriver for Apollo OS has been tested and certified by Microsoft WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Lab). Read more here

Users who are interested in testing and evaluation our middleware are invited to send an email to: marketing@scsquare.com

For generic private and open source middleware, Apollo OS is available with a PKCS#15 profile.
