Re: SmartCards

[Scott Schwendinger <swschwen () yahoo com>]

Sebastian,

Smartcards can contain many authentication id's.  PKI
client certificates can be stored on the smartcard. 
When the user access the system/login, a request for
proof is sent.  The user must provide the PKI
certificate.  With the use a smartcard reader
(external or internal) the PKI certificate is read and
the user is authenticated.
