SCinterface VSC: Now available for Linux

Eviden Digital Identity has enhanced cryptovision SCinterface VSC, the extension to the middleware SCinterface, by expanding support to Linux, significantly broadening its capabilities beyond the previously supported Windows environment. SCinterface VSC enables users to utilize Trusted Platform Modules (TPM) as virtual smart cards, overcoming the constraints of traditional physical smart cards.

Building on the discontinued Microsoft VSC, SCinterface VSC delivers improved compatibility and flexibility, offering organizations a seamless experience across platforms. With this expansion, Linux users can now access the same secure authentication and cryptographic functionality once exclusive to Windows, creating a unified virtual token experience.

With SCinterface supporting over 100 different profile cards and platforms, SCinterface VSC ensures a smooth transition for organizations looking to modernize their digital identity management. Notably, it allows the concurrent use of both physical tokens and virtual smart cards, providing users with versatile options for secure access.

Key benefits of SCinterface VSC include:

  • Easy migration from physical tokens to virtual formats.
  • Broad operating system support
  • Future-proof key material compatibility
