Smart cards and card readers

Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of Europe requires Qualified Certificate for Qualified Electronic Signature (QCQES) to be stored on high-security devices. Such a device is the smart card on which the electronic signature certificate is stored together with the public and private keys. The information stored on the card can be accessed via a secret PIN code.

More than one electronic signature may be stored on a smart card, as long as the Holder is one and the same person. The smart card connects to the computer via a card reader.

The client can choose between two types of smart cards and card readers - SIM and standard size.
