Athena smart cards
(Athena Smartcard Solutions: www.athena-scs.com)
The users' cryptographic facilities, which are supported by complex Cesaris, can also be supplied. These facilities are
required by the European legislation (Directive 1999/93/EC)
for the qualified certificates. The main requirement is - the private key of the signature never leaves the
device, which guarantees safety. To meet this requirement, all crypto functions should be integrated into such
facilities, which as a rule have a special cryptographic processor, that's why these cards are also called
Microprocessor cards).
