Description
The information system ensures that even if the information system is compromised, that compromise will not affect credentials stored on the authentication device. The daemon program for pcsc-lite and the MuscleCard framework is pcscd. It is a resource manager that coordinates communications with smart card readers and smart cards and cryptographic tokens that are connected to the system.
