Smart Card Controller
Contacted smart cards are pocket-sized plastic cards that have an embedded
silicon chip containing user information. The information on the card is read
when the metal contacts on the smart card are placed directly on the contacts of
the smart card reader, also known as a smart card controller.
Smart cards can be used alone or combined with other authentication methods
for Windows or TPM authentication. If the smart card is configured for
authentication, enroll the smart card prior to enabling smart card authentication.
NOTE: Only a user with administrator rights can configure the smart card.
To enroll a smart card:
1
Click Settings next to Smart Card Controller .
2 Use the Smart Card Enrollment Wizard to enroll a smart card. Follow the
onscreen prompts.
Contactless Smart Card
Contactless smart cards are pocket-sized cards that have an embedded silicon
chip containing user information. Unlike contacted smart cards, the information
on contactless smart cards is read by the smart card controller with the use of
radio frequency when the smart card is in close proximity to the controller.
Contactless smart cards can be used alone or combined with other authentication
methods for Windows or TPM authentication. If the smart card is configured for
authentication, enroll the smart card prior to enabling smart card authentication.
NOTE: Only a user with administrator rights can configure the smart card.
To enroll a contactless smart card:
