Security

How It Works

SmartCard Guard monitors the smart card reader using PC/SC tools.

When the card disappears:

Card removal is detected
Session is locked
Lock enforcement continues

What SmartCard Guard Does NOT Access

SmartCard Guard never accesses:

PIN numbers
Banking data
Card balances
Account information
Payment functionality

Smart Card Usage

The card is used only as a presence token.

Think of it like:

A physical key
An employee badge
A workstation access card

Recommended Usage

For best security:

Use a dedicated smart card
Keep your card physically secure
Enable full disk encryption
Use strong account passwords

Known Limitations

Current version accepts any detected smart card.

Future versions will support ATR whitelisting.
