SCinterface

Eviden SCinterface enables secure, certificate-based authentication by integrating smart credentials across platforms and applications.

Overview

Enterprise credential integration platform

Eviden SCinterface is middleware that connects smart credentials with enterprise applications and operating systems. It supports physical smartcards, USB tokens, virtual smartcards, and centrally managed remote credentials. The software provides standardized cryptographic interfaces, enabling authentication, encryption, and digital signature use cases across heterogeneous environments. Its modular architecture supports a wide range of chip types and platforms, allowing organizations to unify credential usage and simplify integration. Extensions enable additional scenarios such as virtual smartcards, remote key storage, mobile-based credentials, and PIN-based single sign-on.
