1.1 Purpose
This document describes different options how you can manage and use your HID®
Crescendo™ smart card with a variety of software options.
The Crescendo C1150 smart card is versatile and can be deployed in standalone mode (that
is, without any central card management system) or in an enterprise-managed environment
(that is, with a central card management system).
The Crescendo C1150 smart card can be used on a variety of environments, providing a wide
range of strong authentication, digital signature and encryption services – such as secure
Windows logon, secure authentication to web sites, secure authentication to remote sessions,
email digital signature, email and file encryption.
This document presents the services available via the Crescendo C1150 Mini Driver, a free
middleware from HID Global designed specifically for this card. The Mini Driver is compatible
with a number of card management systems (such as Microsoft® Forefront Identity Manager
or HID Global naviGO™) and end-user applications (such as Microsoft Windows®, Internet
Explorer®, Microsoft Office® or Adobe® Acrobat).
The document also presents additional services available via the HID Global ActivID
ActivClient™ middleware, bringing support for additional applications (such as Mozilla®
Firefox® or remote access / VPN products).
