Security Using the Smart Card Reader Select notebooks models are equipped with an embedded Smart Card Reader. On these models, the driver for your Smart Card Reader is preinstalled. No action is necessary to install the driver. The Smart Card Reader is used with industry-standard Smart Cards designed to work with Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional operating systems. Smart Cards are available from a variety of manufacturers and service providers. Smart Cards can provide functions such as protecting a Windows user account and securing online transactions. Card capabilities depend on the Smart Card itself as well as the Smart Card application being used. In addition, you can use a personal digital certificate with the Smart Card Reader. To do so, ensure that the personal digital certificate and software you purchase are compliant with the Microsoft PC/SC Smart Card standard.

This utility allows you to restrict unauthorized access to your Smart Card and Smart Card Reader.
