4. Device Driver Software
Client machines must be configured before they are able to make use of a plusID. This
includes the installation of device driver software, which consists of a CCID driver and a
plusID device minidriver. The CCID driver is a standard driver provided by Microsoft for
working with smart card devices such as the plusID and can be obtained via Windows
Update when the plusID is first connected to the client. The device minidriver is a small
software library provided by Privaris that allows Windows to interact with the plusID.
The minidriver is included on the same CD-ROM as “plusID Manager” (the device
enrollment and configuration software) and must be installed on each client machine.

Microsoft’s “Smart Card Deployment Cookbook” is an excellent resource covering all
aspects of smart card deployment, from general information to detailed installation and
configuration information. It can be accessed online at:
