SCinterface RSC

Enables secure use of centrally stored credentials without local key storage or physical tokens.

Overview

Secure remote authentication and signing

SCinterface Remote allows the use of centrally managed credentials without local storage of private keys. It enables authentication and signing through backend execution, typically secured by HSMs. This model increases security while enabling flexible remote access across enterprise infrastructures.

Architecture & Integration

Deployment model: Endpoint-based middleware (SCinterface RSC) connecting over a secure channel to a centralized back end (Eviden Keymaster with HSM) 
Supported platforms: Windows 11, Windows Server (2016, 2019, 2022), macOS Sequoia (15) and Tahoe (26)
 

Key integrations:

  • Eviden Keymaster centralized key and certificate management server
  • Hardware Security Modules (HSM)
  • Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
  • Enterprise VPN (2FA) and corporate IT login / SSO systems

Standards supported: PKCS#11, Microsoft CryptoAPI, Microsoft CNG, macOS Crypto Token Driver, PC/SC, OIDC, PKCS#15, ISO/IEC 7816, PKCS#10, PKCS#12

Key differentiators

  • Eliminates physical smartcards and hardware tokens by storing keys centrally on an HSM-backed server
  • Parallel operation with physical tokens and SCinterface Virtual Smart Card (VSC) for seamless migration and hybrid deployment
  • Secures TPM-less and BYOD endpoints with remote certificate-based authentication, digital signatures, and encryption

 

Proof & Evidence

Security & hardware isolation: User keys remain protected inside high-assurance Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) in a centralized backend rather than exposed on user devices

Standards compliance: Conforms to enterprise and cryptographic standards including ISO/IEC 7816, PC/SC, OIDC, and PKCS (#10, #11, #12, #15)

Field-tested core: Built on the proven Eviden SCinterface middleware architecture, supporting enterprise-grade multi-credential ecosystems

Operational control: Real-time central administration enabling instantaneous revocation, group credential issuance, and remote access policy adjustments
 

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

SCinterface Remote Smart Card keeps private keys in a central, highly secured backend environment, typically protected by Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). Keys never leave the secure infrastructure and are not stored on user devices, reducing the risk of theft, loss, or compromise. 

No. SCinterface Remote Smart Card enables certificate-based authentication and digital signature processes without requiring a physical smart card, card reader, or USB token. Users can securely access corporate systems using centrally managed credentials.

All cryptographic operations are executed in the backend using centrally stored credentials. The client device communicates securely with the remote credential service, while private keys remain protected on the key server or HSM.

Yes. SCinterface Remote Smart Card is designed to integrate with existing PKI infrastructures, backend key servers, and HSM platforms. This allows organizations to extend certificate-based authentication, digital signing, and encryption services without changing established trust frameworks.
