INTRODUCTION

This article describes the software update for Base Smart Card CSP. This update lets smart card vendors more easily enable their smart cards on Microsoft Windows by using a lightweight proprietary card module instead of a full proprietary CSP.

This update lets users use smart cards from vendors who use card modules instead of a full CSP.

Note To enable most smart card security, the user must still enroll for certificates from a trusted public key infrastructure.
