4 Installation

Connecting the Smart Card Reader


To use Classic Client on your workstation, you must connect a smart card reader to
your computer.
If the card reader is not recognized on your workstation, you may need to install the
latest card reader drivers. You can download these from [Link]

Configuring Gemalto Cryptographic Security Modules


Security Modules are software add-ons that provide a variety of cryptographic services,
such as secure browsing, and support the use of smart cards/tokens.
In Classic Client 5.1 for Linux, the PKCS#11 security module is installed automatically
as it is included with the Classic Client software.
In order to enable the Mozilla applications Firefox and Thunderbird to communicate
with Classic Client, the PKCS#11 security module must be registered in the Mozilla
application.

Note: The screen shots in this section were taken on a PC running the Debian OS. In
Debian, the Firefox browser is called Iceweasel, and its appearance is slightly different
although its functionality is the same.

To configure Firefox (or Iceweasel) to recognize the security module:


1 Open Firefox or Iceweasel and from the Edit menu choose Preferences.
2 In the dialog box that opens, click the Advanced icon, then the Encryption tab to
display the settings as shown in “Figure 1”.

PIN Management

This chapter discusses the Classic Client PIN Management tool, the dedicated tool for
managing PINs and the tasks it can be used to perform.

About PINs
PIN Types
Classic Client recognizes two types of PIN that may be in a smart card/token:
■ Admin PIN – the PIN that is necessary to unblock the card/token (for example after
too many consecutive incorrect presentations of the User PIN).
■ User PIN – the standard PIN used by a user to access the card/token.

The Administrator PIN


This is the PIN used to unblock a User PIN. Normally only administrators know the
value of this PIN.
The administrator PIN is an extremely important part of the security of the smart card/
token. Knowledge of this PIN means you can change the value of all the user PINs on
the card/token and unblock the card/token if the user PIN is blocked.
It is extremely important for smart card/token administrators to keep the value of the
admin PIN secure and secret. The administrator must know the admin PIN value for all
smart cards/tokens he or she has deployed. The admin PIN value of a card/token
should never be shared with anyone else, and it is strongly recommended not to give
this value to the card/token user, unless your security policy requests it.

Caution: Once an administration PIN has been entered incorrectly the requisite
number of times, it becomes blocked and the card/token can never be used again.

The original Admin PIN value of a smart card/token is included in the packaging of the
card/token. If you are an administrator you may want to change the Admin PIN value of
the cards/tokens you deploy so that only you, the administrator, knows it.
8 PIN Management

The User PIN


A PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a private code. It can be a sequence of
numeric or alphanumeric characters or a mix of the two and is used as a type of
password. Your User PIN must be verified before you can perform security tasks with
the card/token, such as logging on to a workstation, or creating a digital signature.
The user PIN of a smart card/token may be the original PIN value set at the time of
manufacture or it may be a PIN value assigned by the administrator.
The user PIN should be unique to your card/token and known only to you. It is standard
practice, upon reception of a smart card/token, to change the user PIN value so that
only you, the user, knows it. Your administrator can even force you to change the PIN
value upon first use in the software.
To perform a security operation, you must prove that you know the User PIN. Software
that performs a security operation usually displays a window requesting you to enter
the PIN before performing the security operation.
■ When creating a digital signature, successful PIN validation proves that you are the
real card/token holder and enables you to sign with the selected key.
■ By using the PIN to log on a network, you prove both that your card/token is valid in
the system and that you card/token holder, is physically there.

Caution: Do not allow the User PIN for your card/token to be blocked. If, for example,
you forget the user PIN and enter a predetermined number of failed validation
attempts (the PIN is entered incorrectly), the card/token becomes blocked and you
cannot perform any further security operations with it. If you know the Admin PIN you
can unblock your card/token as described in “How to Unblock a User PIN” on page 10.
However most companies’ security policy does not allow this, in which case you must
ask your Classic Client system administrator to unblock the card/token using the
Administrator PIN. If you have the necessary rights, you may be able to unblock your
card/token remotely. This operation is described in “How to Remotely Unblock a
Connected Smart Card/Token” on page 11. Sometimes card/token technology or
software on-board the card/token limits the absolute number of these unblocking
operations. For more information, see your card/token technology documentation.

PIN Security Policies


PIN policies are established according to a company’s security policy, but they are also
established in relation to the particular type of smart card/token you use and the on-
board software the card/token features. For example, some cards/tokens allow a user
PIN to be a minimum of 4 characters, and other cards/tokens allow a minimum of 6
characters. Please see your card/token documentation for more information.

Classic Client PIN Management Tool


The Classic Client PIN Management tool allows you to make changes to the PINs
associated with a particular smart card/token.

PIN PAD Readers


You can use the Gemalto PIN PAD, “PC Pinpad” with the PIN Tool. PC Pinpad
behaves like a normal reader in transparent mode.

PIN Management Tasks


This section describes the tasks that you can perform with the PIN Management Tool.

How to Access the Classic Client PIN Management Tool

How to Change an Administration PIN or User PIN


To change the Admin PIN, you will need to know its current value. This means that
normally you will not be able to change an Admin PIN unless you are an administrator.

To change a PIN
1 Connect the smart card/token whose Admin PIN or User PIN you want to change to
the PC.
2 Open the PIN Management window as described in “How to Access the Classic
Client PIN Management Tool” on page 9.
3 If it is not already selected, click Change PIN at the top of the window (see “Figure
8” on page 9).
4 Select the PIN whose value you want to change from the list, Admin PIN or User
PIN.
5 Enter the current value of the PIN in Old PIN Code, and the new value in New PIN
Code and again in Confirm PIN Code.
6 Click the Apply button at the bottom of the window. A pop-up window appears to
confirm a successful PIN change or to display an error message if unsuccessful.

How to Unblock a User PIN


Note: It is not possible to unblock an Admin PIN. If the Admin PIN becomes blocked,
the smart card/token can no longer be used.

If you know the Admin PIN for your card/token, you can unblock your User PIN by
using the Classic Client PIN Management tool.
In most cases, if you are not an administrator you will not know the Admin PIN – it
depends on your company’s security policy. In such cases, there are two possibilities;
■ The administrator must unblock the smart card/token for you. You must return the
smart card/token to the administrator so he or she can unblock it on his or her PC.
■ If you have been given the necessary rights, you can unblock your PIN remotely as
described in “How to Remotely Unblock a Connected Smart Card/Token” on
page 11.

To unblock a PIN as an administrator:


1 Connect the blocked smart card/token to your administrator PC.
2 Open the Classic Client PIN Management window as described in “How to Access
the Classic Client PIN Management Tool” on page 9.
3 If it is not already selected (in blue), click Unblock PIN at the top of the window as
shown in “Figure 9” on page 11.

Tasks

This chapter discusses information related to specific tasks that you will most often be
required to carry out when using the Classic Client 5.1 for Linux software and where to
find the information about them.
These tasks are:
■ “How to Get a Certificate” on this page.
■ “How to Use E-mail Securely” on page 14
■ “How to View Secure Web Sites” on page 21
Tasks concerning PINs are described in “Chapter 2 - PIN Management”.

How to Get a Certificate


A digital certificate contains information about the user and the user’s public key, and is
used to authenticate the user’s identity during secure transactions. The certificate
identifying the user must be registered with a certificate authority and this information
must be available to both parties. To use smart cards/tokens and certificates together,
the user must generate a key pair on his card/token and then get a digital certificate
corresponding to the public key and store it on the card/token.
You can get a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority (CA). CA’s are trusted
organizations that issue and manage digital certificates, such as Verisign. For more
information about CA’s refer to “What is a Certificate Authority?” on page 25.

Tips
When you request a certificate, you will be asked to enter information about yourself
such as your name, e-mail address, and the type of certificate you want. The type of
information required depends upon what organization is issuing the certificate, and
may include the following:
■ Key length value. The default value is 1024. Classic Client also supports 2048–bit
keys, though this ability may be restricted by the card/token used.
■ Cryptographic Module (sometimes referred to as security device). You will need
this if requesting a certificate using Mozilla Firefox or Netscape Navigator.
You must give the correct name, which is Classic Smart Card. If you give a
different name, your certificate will be stored on your hard drive instead of your
smart card/token.

How to Use E-mail Securely


The following sections explain how to send secure e-mail using Classic Client 5.1 for
Linux.

About Secure E-mail


With Classic Client 5.1 for Linux, you can improve e-mail security by using the digital
certificate on your smart card/token to:
■ Sign your e-mail so that the recipient can verify that the message is really from you
and has not been altered.
■ Encrypt, or “scramble” a message so that only the intended recipient can read it.
This eliminates concerns about intercepted messages and e-mail monitoring.
■ Sign or encrypt your message using one e-mail program, while your intended
recipient can read it with any other S/MIME-enabled e-mail program.
■ Receive signed and encrypted e-mail messages.

Setting up Secure E-mail


You must do the following before you can send secure e-mail:
■ Configure the application to recognize the PKCS#11 security module
■ Configure security settings
Set the security settings for digitally signing and/or encrypting the contents and
attachments of outgoing messages.
■ Specify certificates to be used for signing and encryption
Choose the digital certificate(s) that you will use to encrypt and digitally sign your e-
mails. You can use the same certificate for both operations or two different ones.
These certificates are associated with your e-mail account.
■ Send yourself a digitally-signed e-mail
When you send a signed e-mail, you sign it with the private key. The recipient
receives the corresponding public key with the mail which he or she uses to
decipher your mail.
Before you can send e-mails to anybody else, you need to send a signed message
to yourself in order for Thunderbird or Icedove to store your public key.
Then you can send your public key to other people, for example by sending them a
signed message. Once they have your public key, they can use it to encrypt mails
they send to you (which you decipher using your private key).
The following sections describe how to perform the above operations using the Mozilla
Thunderbird (or Icedove) e-mail programs. The dialog boxes shown may differ slightly
from your own software, depending on what version you are using.
Tasks 15

Working with Mozilla Thunderbird or Icedove.


The following sections explain how to set up and send secure e-mail with Mozilla’s
Thunderbird or the Icedove e-mail programs. Icedove is the Debian version of
Thunderbird and the two applications are identical except for their appearance.
There are three stages:
1 Configure Thunderbird to recognize the Security Module, described in the following
section.
2 Configure the security settings and specify the certificates to use for signing and
encryption, described on page 16.
3 Send a digitally signed e-mail to yourself in order to store your public key in
Thunderbird/Icedove, described on page 19.

Configure Thunderbird/Icedove to Recognize the Security Module


You only need to do this once.

To configure Mozilla Thunderbird or Icedove


1 Make sure your smart card/token is connected.

10 If you want all of your e-mails to be digitally signed by default, check the box
Digitally sign messages (by default).
11 In Encryption, if you chose not to use the same certificate as the one used for
digital signing, click Select and choose the certificate from the list that appears. A
message similar to the one in “Figure 17” on page 18 appears, but this time asking
if you want to use the Encryption certificate for digital signing. This is just in case
you select your encryption certificate before you select your digital signature
certificate.
12 In Default encryption setting when sending messages, choose one of the
option buttons Never or Required.
13 Click OK to close the Security Account Settings window.

Note: If you want to modify the account settings at any point, open the Account

9 Open the message you sent yourself from in your inbox.
Notice the icon showing you that the message has been signed.
You have successfully sent yourself a digitally signed e-mail.
Now that Thunderbird or Icedove recognizes your public key, you can send signed
messages to other people, thus sending them your public key.

Sending Encrypted E-mail with Mozilla Thunderbird or Icedove


Once you have configured your e-mail account in Mozilla Thunderbird or Icedove,
you can retrieve a person’s public key when he or she sends a signed message to you.
When you send e-mail to that person, you use his or her public key to encrypt the e-
mail. This is done automatically by Thunderbird or Icedove; you just need to specify the
recipient(s) of the mail. Since no one except the person who has the private key can
decrypt it, the e-mail is secure.

To send an encrypted e-mail:


Follow the same steps as “To send a signed e-mail to yourself with Mozilla Thunderbird
or Icedove” on page 19, except in the Compose window, choose Encrypt this
message from the Options menu.
Tasks 21

How to View Secure Web Sites


Communicating and conducting business on the Web is quickly becoming the most
convenient, effective means of transaction. Therefore, Web sites must be secure to
protect the corporation, the individual and the information exchanged.
With your Classic Client smart card/token, you can browse secure Web sites knowing
that your private key and digital certificate are safely stored on your smart card/token
instead of your hard drive, where they might be susceptible to unauthorized access.

Note: All secure Web site addresses must begin with [Link] Browsers display a lock
icon at the bottom of the browser window indicating that the site is secure. A closed
lock indicates that you are operating in secure mode. You may need to configure your
organization’s network to allow secure browsing.

When you connect to a secure Web site, your certificate must be specified in your
browser so that you can authenticate yourself to the Web server. For example, when
you bank online, your bank must be sure that you are the correct person to get account
information. Your certificate confirms your identity to the online bank.
The following sections explain how to check that your certificates are correctly
registered in your browsers when authenticating with secure web sites using Mozilla
Firefox (or the Debian equivalent Iceweasel) and Netscape.

Choosing a Certificate Used to View Web Sites


To authenticate using either the Mozilla Firefox or Netscape Navigator browser, your
certificate must be registered in the browser. This section describes how to check that
a certificate is registered and also how to tell the browser whether it should select the
certificate itself, or ask you.

To check certificates registered in Mozilla Firefox or Netscape Navigator:


1 Make sure your card/token is connected.
2 Open the browser (Mozilla Firefox or Netscape Navigator).
3 From the Edit menu (or Navigator menu if using Netscape) choose Preferences.
4 Click the Advanced icon, then the Encryption tab as shown in “Figure 21”.

Security Basics

This chapter introduces you to the IT security standards integral to Classic Client.

Cryptography
Communicating and conducting business electronically is quickly becoming the most
convenient, effective means of transaction. An essential condition for the continued
growth toward an electronic market is security. The identities of both corporations and
individuals must be authentic. The integrity and privacy of information must be
guaranteed.
Encryption/decryption enables you to send and receive secure e-mail and documents
to protect confidential or private information. You can use the signature function to sign
your messages. By signing messages, you can prove to the recipient that you are who
you claim to be.
The IT industry uses cryptography to render information secret and known only by
authorized entities.
There are two types of cryptography:
■ Secret Key Cryptography.
■ Public Key Cryptography
Both cryptographic systems use keys to digitally sign or encrypt/decrypt data. A key is
a value in electronic format used to perform cryptographic functions on electronic data.
The differences between secret key and public key cryptography include:
■ Key management.
■ Complexity of the key structure.
Key management is central to having a successful crypto system. If keys are not
managed in a secure environment, the overall security of the crypto system is at risk.
Keys must also be convenient to use.
The complexity of a key length is determined by the degree of mathematical properties
applied to the random numbers that comprise the key.
24 Security Basics

Secret Key Cryptography


Secret key cryptography is the traditional crypto system, which remains in widespread
use even today. Secret key cryptography uses a single secret key to digitally sign or
encrypt/decrypt electronic data. The most widely used secret key crypto systems are
DES and RC2 (also known as symmetric key cryptography).
The sender and receiver must use the same secret key for the session in which secure
information is exchanged. The sender uses the secret key to encrypt the message; the
receiver uses the same secret key to decrypt the message.
The primary advantage of secret key cryptography is the speed at which data can be
encrypted/decrypted.
The primary weakness of secret key cryptography regards key management. Because
sender and receiver must share knowledge of the secret key, there must be a transfer
of the secret key at some point. Introducing a third party (such as a telephone line or
courier) to deliver the secret key to the receiver presents a security risk.
Secret keys are included in the cryptographic functionality of Mozilla e-mail and
browser products.

Public Key Cryptography


Public key cryptography was introduced in 1976 and is the most advanced, secure
crypto system for digitally signing and encrypting/decrypting electronic data. Public key
cryptography refers to a crypto system that uses key pairs. The most popular and
widely-used public key crypto system uses the RSA key pair.
A key pair is a matched set of keys used to digitally sign or encrypt/decrypt electronic
data. RSA key pairs, like secret keys, are strings of random numbers. However, RSA
keys are not only significantly longer than secret keys, they also possess complex
mathematical properties.
A single user owns an RSA key pair. One key is private, while the other key is public.
The private key remains private and accessible only to the owner of the key pair. The
public key is made available by the owner to public users. The public key is used to
encrypt data. The private key is used to decrypt data.
The strengths of using an RSA key pair is that the need for sender and receiver to
share knowledge of the single secret key used in secret key crypto systems is
eliminated.
Classic Client takes advantage of the speed the secret key offers and the robust
security and convenience of the RSA key pair. When you use Classic Client to send
secure e-mail, the actual message data is encrypted using a secret key. The secret key
is then encrypted using the public key of the intended recipient. Only the recipient's
private key can decrypt the secret key. Only the secret key can decrypt the message
data.
Classic Client offers the most advanced digital security at the greatest speed and
convenience.
Security Basics 25

What is a digital certificate?


A digital certificate is an electronic document that serves as your digital passport. Your
digital certificate stores your public key and other personal information about you and
the certificate.
The most widely accepted standard for digital certificates is defined by International
Telecommunications Union standard ITU-T X.509. Version three is the most current
version of X.509.
The X.509v3 certificate includes the following data:
■ Version.
■ Serial number.
■ Signature algorithm ID.
■ Issuer name.
■ Expiration Date.
■ User name.
■ User public key information.
■ Issuer unique identifier.
■ User unique identifier.
■ Extensions.
■ Signature on the above fields.
As a convenience to recipients, it is standard practice to attach your digital certificate to
every secure e-mail that you send. The recipient uses your public key, included in your
digital certificate, to encrypt e-mail addressed to you. If you do not attach your digital
certificate to outgoing e-mails, recipients must retrieve your public key from a public
directory if they want to reply to you with an encrypted e-mail.

What is a Certificate Authority?


Certificate Authorities (CAs) are trusted third parties that issue digital certificates. CAs
vouch for the identity of the individual or enterprise to whom they are issuing a
certificate. CAs provide a transfer of trust from CA to the individual or enterprise. When
you trust the CA certificate, you can transfer that trust to all certificates published by
that CA.
When you obtain your digital certificate, you provide the CA with your public key and
any personal information requested by the CA. The CA verifies your personal
information and the integrity of your public key. After the verification process, the CA
signs your public key, stores appropriate personal information and your public key on
the digital certificate, and issues your digital certificate to you.
CAs issue certificates with varying levels of identification requirements. CA policies and
the level of identification of the digital certificate determine the method and
requirements for proving your identity to the CA. The most simple digital certificate only
requires your e-mail address and name. However, some CAs require a driver's license,
notarized certificate request form, or any other personal documentation attesting to
your identity. Some CAs may even go as far as requiring biometric data such as
fingerprints.
The CA public key must be widely available so that users can validate the authenticity
of all certificates published by this CA.
26 Security Basics

What is a digital signature?


A digital signature is a piece of information created using message data and the
owner's private key. Digital signatures provide message authentication, non-
repudiation of origin, and data integrity.
Digital signatures are created by mathematical, or hash, and private signing functions.
The one-way hash function produces a message digest, a condensed version of the
original message text. The message digest is encrypted using the sender’s private key,
turning it into a digital signature.
The digital signature can only be decrypted using the public key of the same sender.
The recipient of the data decrypts the digital signature and compares the result with a
message digest, recalculated from the original message text. If the two are identical,
the message was not manipulated, thus is authentic.

What is S/MIME?
Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) is an open protocol standard,
that provides encryption and digital signature functionality to Internet e-mail. S/MIME
uses public key cryptography standards to define e-mail security services.
S/MIME enables you to encrypt and digitally sign Internet e-mail using Web messaging
applications such as Mozilla Thunderbird. S/MIME also enables you to authenticate
incoming messages.
S/MIME provides the following security functions:
■ Sender Authentication to verify the sender's identity. By reading the sender's
digital signature, the recipient can see who signed the message and view the
certificate for additional details.
■ Message Encryption to ensure that your messages remain private. Mozilla
Thunderbird supports domestic and export-level public key and secret key
encryption.
■ Data Integrity to guard against unauthorized manipulation of messages. S/MIME
uses a secure hashing function to detect message tampering.
■ Inter-operability to work with other S/MIME-compliant software.

What is SSL?
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), developed by Netscape Communications, is a standard
security protocol that provides security and privacy on the Web. The protocol allows
client/server applications to communicate securely. SSL uses both public and secret
key cryptography.
The SSL protocol is application independent, which enables higher-level protocols
such as Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to be layered on top of it transparently.
Therefore, the client can negotiate encryption and authentication with the server before
data is exchanged by the higher-level application.
The SSL Handshake Protocol process includes two phases:
■ Server Authentication in which the client requests the server's certificate. In
response, the server returns its digital certificate and signature to the client. The
server certificate provides the server's public key. The signature proves that the
server currently has the private key corresponding to the certificate.
■ Client Authentication (optional) in which the server requests the client's
certificate. In response, the client sends the digital certificate and signature to the
server. If the SSL Server requests it, the client is prompted to enter a PIN to visit a
secure Web site.
Security Basics 27

The SSL process is repeated for every secure session you attempt to establish unless
you specify a permanent session. The SSL process will not proceed if the Web server's
certificate is expired.

Note: In some instances, the SSL Handshake takes place between the Web server
and the browser and does not require the client’s certificate.

SSL provides the following security functions:


■ Data Encryption to ensure data security and privacy. Both public key and secret
key encryption are used to achieve maximum security. All traffic between an SSL
server and SSL client is encrypted using both public key and secret key algorithms.
Encryption thwarts the capture and decryption of TCP/IP sessions.
■ Mutual Authentication to verify the identities of the server and client. Identities are
digital certificates. The entity presenting the certificate must digitally sign the data
to prove ownership of the certificate. The combination of the certificate and
signature authenticates the entity.
■ Data Integrity to ensure that SSL session data is not manipulated en route. SSL
uses hash functions to provide the integrity service.

What is Classic Client?


Classic Client is a smart card−based solution designed to secure e−mail
communications and Internet transactions. Classic Client smart cards/tokens support
encryption/decryption and signature functions.
Classic Client and a smart card/token provide the following advantages:
■ Your private key is never removed from your smart card/token.
■ The smart card/token is hardware-based security.
■ The PIN code protects key use.
■ Classic Client is portable and convenient.
The encryption/decryption function enables you to send and receive secure e-mail to
protect confidential or private information. You can use the signature function to sign
your messages. By signing messages, you can prove to the recipient that you are who
you claim to be.
Classic Client combines the privacy, integrity, and authentication functionality provided
by cryptographic algorithms with the simplicity, portability, and convenience of smart
cards/tokens. Your private key, digital certificate, and other personal information are
securely stored on your Classic Client smart card/token to prevent fraudulent use of
your electronic identity.
The latest industry standards such as SSL3 (for Web access) and S/MIME (for e−mail)
enable inter−operability of security services between any browser interface and any
Web server. However, the security hole in SSL3 and S/MIME is the management of
your private key and digital certificate. Without Classic Client, your private key and
digital certificate are stored on your hard drive, which makes them susceptible to
unauthorized access and fraudulent use. Without Classic Client, your electronic identity
is at risk.
Classic Client provides double-barreled security! Classic Client, you get the hardware-
based security inherent in smart cards/tokens and software-based encryption security,
as well as the added advantage of individual PIN codes. Hardware-based security is a
principal security advantage. It is significantly more secure than software-only
solutions. Without the possession of your smart card/token and knowledge of your PIN
code, no one can use your identity.
Classic Client is your electronic passport to the digital world.
28 Security Basics

What is a Smart Card/Token?


A smart card is the size of a conventional credit card. But unlike the credit card, which
has a magnetic stripe, the smart card has a silicon microprocessor chip to store and
process electronic data and applications. The advantage of the smart card is security.
Gemalto manufactures various types of smart cards. Contact smart cards use a
microprocessor chip to store and process data. They must be inserted into a smart
card reader. Contactless smart cards use a microprocessor chip and antenna to store
and process data.
Smart cards can also be embedded in tokens such as USB devices, that you can plug
directly into a PC.
Smart cards/tokens provide the most sophisticated security available on the market.

What is the Classic Client Smart Card/Token?


Your Classic Client smart card/token stores your private key and digital certificate. In
the past, your only option was to store your private key on your local hard drive,
rendering it susceptible to theft and fraudulent use. With Classic Client, your electronic
identity is secure. You must have both the smart card/token and PIN code to use the
smart card/token.
The Classic Client smart card/token is tamper resistant. The structure and operating
system of the smart card/token make it practically impossible to penetrate, probe, or
pilfer smart card/token data.
Perhaps the most convenient aspect of the Classic Client smart card/token is
portability. With Classic Client, you can carry your electronic passport with you at all
times and use it on any Classic Client–equipped computer in the world.
The Classic Client smart card/token has a robust and flexible design. These features
offer greater freedom and enhanced security.

On-board Key Generation


The Classic Client smart card/token offers on-board key generation. With this feature,
every time you enroll a new certificate on your smart card/token, a new key pair is
generated on your smart card/token. In other words, you are not limited to using the
same key pair for every certificate that you enroll.
One significant advantage of onboard key generation is the ability to monitor and
control the life span of your RSA key pairs and that the generated key pair is unique.

Increased Certificate Storage


You can store up to six key pairs and multiple digital certificates on your Classic Client
smart card/token, depending upon the size of your certificates and space available on
your smart card/token. This feature provides the convenience of using up to eight
digital certificates for whatever purposes you want; for example, you can use
certificates with varying degrees of encryption (from 1024–bit to 2048–bit RSA key
pairs) to communicate securely with contacts in various parts of the world.
Another reason for obtaining more than one digital certificate is the level of certification
that the Certificate Authority (CA) requires. You may want to obtain and use a digital
certificate from a CA that requires stringent identity certification if you are using the
certificate for sensitive business communications or financial transactions. However, if
you want to encrypt/sign data for personal communications, you may decide that a
certificate from a CA that requires minimal identity certification meets your needs.
The costs of obtaining a digital certificate from a CA are somewhat based on the
degree of identity certification the CA requires.

1 Ownership. The Software is owned by Gemplus or its third party suppliers and is
licensed (and not sold) to you. Gemplus's third party suppliers or distributors may
assert and protect any of their rights (and with Gemplus's permission, Gemplus's
rights) in connection with this EULA.
2 Grant of License. Subject to the terms of this EULA, Gemplus grants you the
world-wide, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable (except as set forth
in this EULA), license to use one copy of the Software, in object code format, solely
for your internal use.
a) You must reproduce on any copy all copyright notices and any other
ownership, confidentiality or proprietary legends that are on the original copy of
the Software and accompanying documentation, and you may make only one
copy of the Software solely for backup or archival purposes, provided that such
backup copy is not installed on any computer.
b) You may not reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, or
otherwise reduce the code of the Software to a human perceivable form, except
and only to the extent that the restriction of such activity is prohibited by
applicable law, and in such event you shall provide Gemplus prompt notification
of such activities. You may not alter or remove any of Gemplus's trademarks
affixed to or otherwise contained on or within the Software.
c) You may not market, distribute, transfer copies of the Software to others or
electronically transfer the Software from one computer to another over a
network except for Software installations permitted under Section 2 of this
EULA. You may not rent, lease, or lend the Software. You may not modify,
30 End User License Agreement

adapt or translate the Software or create derivative works based on the


Software.
d) All rights not expressly granted to you in this EULA are reserved by Gemplus
and its suppliers. No rights are granted by implication or otherwise.
3 Termination. This EULA may be terminated by Gemplus upon notice and without
further action upon the breach of any of your obligations or the license rights
granted to you under this EULA. Upon termination, all use of the Software by you
must cease and all rights granted to you under this EULA are terminated. Upon
termination you hereby agree to return to Gemplus or to destroy all copies of the
Software in your possession or control within fourteen (14) days of such termination
and certify the same in an affidavit to Gemplus upon request.
This remedy is in addition to any other remedies available to Gemplus. Provisions
contained in this EULA that expressly or by their sense and context are intended to
survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall so survive the
expiration or termination including without limitation Sections 1, 3, 4, and 7 through
10 hereof.
4 Proprietary Rights. All rights, title, and proprietary rights in and to the Software
(including, but not limited to, any patents, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights,
images, photographs, animations, video, audio, music, text, software code and
“applets” incorporated into the Software) are owned by Gemplus or its suppliers.
The Software is protected by copyright laws, international treaty provisions, and
other laws. An act in violation of this EULA may also be a crime punishable by fine
or imprisonment under applicable law. You understand that Gemplus may update
or revise the Software in its sole discretion, but has no obligation to furnish any
Software updates or revisions to you. If you upgrade the Software to a higher-
numbered or later version of the Software (e.g., from Program 3.x to Program 4.x)
or to a comparable Gemplus software product including versions for different
operating systems (“Replacement Software”), unless otherwise indicated in any
end user license agreement accompanying such Replacement Software, this
EULA is terminated to the extent it covers the replaced software and your rights in
the Replacement Software will be governed by the end user license terms
applicable to that Replacement Software. If any Replacement Software, or other
Software of Gemplus, is distributed to you without a separate end user license
agreement, this EULA shall govern all your rights and obligations therein.
5 Compliance with Laws. In the performance of the obligations under this Agreement,
you shall at all times comply with the laws, regulations, and orders in effect and
applicable to their performance hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the
preceding sentence, you shall comply with applicable U.S. Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act provisions (regarding, among other things, payments to government
officials) and all applicable U.S. export laws and restrictions and regulations of the
U.S. Department of Commerce, the Department of Treasury Office of Foreign
Assets Control (“OFAC”), or other U.S. or non-U.S. agency or authority, and not
export, or allow the export or re-export of any Gemplus product (or any product
incorporating such Gemplus product) in violation of any such restrictions, laws or
regulations. You shall obtain and bear all expenses relating to any necessary
licenses and/or exemptions with respect to the export from the U.S. of all Gemplus
products to any location and shall demonstrate to Gemplus compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations prior to delivery thereof by Gemplus.
6 U.S. Government Restricted Rights. If a user of the Software is an agency,
department, or other entity of the United States government (the “Government”),
the use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer of
such Software, or of any related documentation of any kind, including technical
data, is restricted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”)

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE


Version 2.1, February 1999

Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.


51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA Everyone is permitted to
copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed.
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of
the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and
change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee
your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for
all its users.

This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated
software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other
authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully
about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy
to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you
receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and
use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these
things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you
these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to
certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
End User License Agreement 35

For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must
give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too,
receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must
provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the
library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them
these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we
offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or
modify the library.

To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for
the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the
recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the
original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by
others.

Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program.
We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free
program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist
that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the
full freedom of use specified in this license.

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General
Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to
certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public
License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
libraries into non-free programs.

When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the
combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original
library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License
permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library.

We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License because it does Less to
protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides
other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free
programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public
License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in
certain special circumstances.

For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest
possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve
this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is
that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case,
there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the
Lesser General Public License.
36 End User License Agreement

In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a


greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example,
permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people
to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux
operating system.

Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it
does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom
and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay
close attention to the difference between a “work based on the library” and a “work that
uses the library”. The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter
must be combined with the library in order to run.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE


TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it
may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also
called “this License”).
Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
A “library” means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to
be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those
functions and data) to form executables.
The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library or work which has been
distributed under these terms. A “work based on the Library” means either the
Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing
the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included
without limitation in the term “modification”.)
“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code
for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the
scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this
License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library
is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents
constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a
tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what
the program that uses the Library does.
1 You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code
as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer
of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence
of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.
End User License Agreement 37

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at
your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2 You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming
a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work
under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these
conditions:
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you
changed the files and the date of any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be
supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an
argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith
effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function
or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose
remains meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is
entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d
requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must
be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still
compute square roots.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections
of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered
independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do
not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when
you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the
Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose
permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and
every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work
written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the
distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the
Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3 You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License
instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all
the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General
Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than
version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can
specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these
notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the
ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and
derivative works made from that copy.
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a
program that is not a library.
4 You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under
Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-
38 End User License Agreement

readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and
2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated
place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same
place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third
parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
5 A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed
to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a “work that
uses the Library”. Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library,
and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with the Library creates an
executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the
Library), rather than a “work that uses the library”. The executable is therefore
covered by this License.
Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
When a “work that uses the Library” uses material from a header file that is part of
the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library
even though the source code is not.
Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the
Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not
precisely defined by law.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and
accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length),
then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a
derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
Library will still fall under Section 6.)
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object
code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they
are linked directly with the Library itself.
6 As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a “work that
uses the Library” with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the
Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms
permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering
for debugging such modifications.
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used
in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply
a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you
must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a
reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of
these things:
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work
(which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an
executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable “work
that uses the Library”, as object code and/or source code, so that the user can
modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing
the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents
of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the
application to use the modified definitions.)
End User License Agreement 39

b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable
mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present
on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the
executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible
with the version that the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give
the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no
more than the cost of performing this distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated
place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the
same place.
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you
have already sent this user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the “work that uses the Library” must
include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from
it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the
executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other
proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a
contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an
executable that you distribute.
7 You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in
a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and
distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the
work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted,
and provided that you do these two things:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the
Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed
under the terms of the Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a
work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying
uncombined form of the same work.
8 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as
expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically
terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received
copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated
so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
9 You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However,
nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its
derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this
License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on
the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms
and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on
it.
10 Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the
recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You
40 End User License Agreement

may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights
granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
11 If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for
any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you
(whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of
this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you
cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License
and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute
the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free
redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly
through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be
to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular
circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a
whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other
property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the
sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system
which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that
system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/
donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other
system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
consequence of the rest of this License.
12 If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by
patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the
Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation
excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation
as if written in the body of this License.
13 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
Lesser General Public License from time to time.
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a
version number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have
the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later
version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify
a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free
Software Foundation.
14 If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose
distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for
permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation,
write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.
Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software
generally.

15 BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO


WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY “AS IS”
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS
WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE
COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO
MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE,
BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED
BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE
WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Glossary

Algorithm A mathematical formula used to perform computations that


can be used for security purposes.

Certificate A certificate provides identification for secure transactions. It


consists of a public key and other data, all of which have been
digitally signed by a CA. It is a condition of access to secure e-
mail or to secure Web sites.

Certificate An entity with the authority and methods to certify the identity
Authority of one or more parties in an exchange (an essential function in
public key crypto systems).

Cryptography The science of transforming confidential information to make it


unreadable to unauthorized parties.

Digital Signature A data string produced using a Public Key Crypto system to
prove the identity of the sender and the integrity of the
message.

Encryption A cryptographic procedure whereby a legible message is


encrypted and made illegible to all but the holder of the
appropriate cryptographic key.

Key A value that is used with a cryptographic algorithm to encrypt,


decrypt, or sign data. Secret key crypto systems use only one
secret key. Public key crypto systems use a public key to
encrypt data and a private key to decrypt data.

Key Length The number of bits forming a key. The longer the key, the
more secure the encryption. Government regulations limit the
length of cryptographic keys.

Public Key Crypto A cryptographic system that uses two different keys (public
system and private) for encrypting data. The most well-known public
key algorithm is RSA.

SSL Secure Sockets Layer: A Security protocol used between


servers and browsers for secure Web sessions.

SSL Handshake The SSL handshake, which takes place each time you start a
secure Web session, identifies the server. This is
automatically performed by your browser.

S/MIME A Standard offline message format for use in secure e-mail


applications.

Token In a security context, a token is a hardware object like a smart


card, but it could also be a pluggable software module
designed to interact with a specific hardware module, such as
a smart card. Token-based authentication provides enhanced
security because success depends on a physical identifier (the
smart card) and a personal identification number (PIN).
