3.2.2.4 Administrator Tools for Card Unblock
The Smart Card Unblock procedure requires the administrator to be able to calculate the Response to a Challenge
provided by the smart card of any end users that he/she is responsible for. This in turn means that the
administrator shall:
1.
Know or somehow have access to, the administrative key values for all smart cards in use.
2.
Have access to a Triple DES tool to calculate the Response based on the Challenge and the
administrative key of a given users smart card.
None of the Windows operating systems provide any means for administrators to handle the secure back-end
storage of the users smart cards Administrative keys, nor do they provide a back-end tool to calculate the
response to a challenge.
These features will be commonly provided by any commercial Base CSP compliant Card Management System
(CMS), including Microsofts Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM).
