There are relatively few private individuals who use smart cards with computers, though most bank cards are now smart cards.Īs you rightly note, Paul, the various card readers tend to disconnect from the system when no card is inserted, so it is often necessary to insert a card to update the drivers.

#ALCOR MICRO USB CARD READER DRIVER UPDATE# You can do so many different things with a YubiKey. My applications for these devices are all about securing trusted credentials used once the system is up and running. However, you can use the smart card functionality of all the current YubiKeys other than the U2F only key (that's the 4 series, NEO and the FIPS range) to secure all manner of services and applications including VPN applications. You can also login to Windows via smart card if you have the right back-end infrastructure. If you have a Windows Server, this has all the software you need to set up a local certificate authority and authentication infrastructure for certificate authentication of users (including authentication of other services using RADIUS - notably including login to Wi-Fi networks). However, this is a fairly complex thing to do correctly, especially when it comes to securing the root certificate of the certificate authority and ensuring the purposes of your certificate authority are appropriately constrained so as not to introduce security risks.

If you do not already have a Windows domain to which all devices authenticate by password, there are further steps to go through, including upgrading all devices with Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro (domain join is unavailable in the Home version of Windows). If you want to be secure, you should be using Windows 10 Pro with BitLocker or another disk encryption solution in any event. #ALCOR MICRO USB CARD READER DRIVER WINDOWS 10# There are ways to do the server end of all this without a Windows Server, but these typically involve the use of open source software that is not easy to configure correctly, such as FreeRADIUS and Samba.Ĭreating user certificates on YubiKeys is definitely a good move as part of introducing certificate based authentication.

The PIN that protects the certificate is kept on a secure element after so many incorrect PIN entries, the certificate is put beyond use and a new one needs to be issued. I wish it was as simple as buy a bunch of YubiKeys and hand them out. #ALCOR MICRO USB CARD READER DRIVER VERIFICATION#.#ALCOR MICRO USB CARD READER DRIVER WINDOWS 10#.#ALCOR MICRO USB CARD READER DRIVER UPDATE#.
