## Description

desertcart.com: Taglio PIVKey C980 Enterprise PKI Smart Card for Authentication, Identification, Contact/Contactless Smart Card, Supports Windows PIV Drivers. : Industrial & Scientific

Review: Works great. Support was awesome. Wish there was a way to easily label the front. - Likes: card works great in Linux and Windows. Can easily login with card to Windows. Support was VERY responsive. Their web site and test web page was helpful, too. Cons: I wish it was cheaper. Like at least half. Also, being able to label the front easily would be fine but I guess that's what label makers are for. Or those expensive card printers. None of this is worthy of removing a star.
Review: Great service - I ordered one and it was not functional, even for the test. However, after communicating back and forth with Taglio, their customer service was exceptional and replaced the card, and sent another one for me to test with. so far the cards work as intended, and the next step is on me for the certificate authority using Win server 2012 R2. They've offered to help with that, which is a rarity in many organizations. Thanks for the restitution.

## Features

- * ENTERPRISE LEVEL SECURITY - Built on Infineon’s newest SLE78 chip, the PIVKey C980 Security Chip and OS are validated to U.S. government security standard FIPS 140-2, Level 3 and certified to Common Criteria EAL 6+ (high). All PIVKey cards are based on dedicated smart card security processors, designed to be physically & logically tamper resistant. PIVKey supports on-board key generation, cryptography, random number generation & enforces PIN based two factor authentication 2FA. TAA Compliant.
- * CERTIFICATE BASED SECURITY - PKI Dual Interface smart cards support both Contact (ISO 7816) and Contactless (ISO 14443) smart card readers so you can securely store and use X509 digital certificates and associated cryptographic keys, offering strong certificate based security. Digital certificates support PKI applications like logon to Windows, email and document signing, encryption and remote logon using VPN, RDP or HTTPS.
- * WINDOWS COMPATIBLE - Issue Digital Certificates directly to your PIVKey smart card using the Standard Windows Certification Authority (CA) Enrollment process and the PIVKey Windows compatible minidriver. Or, for simplified end-user deployments, configure PIVKey centrally and use the in-box Windows PIV driver for a complete Plug & Play (PnP) experience.
- * PIV COMPATIBLE - Compatible with a wide range of PIV applications & platforms. Supports the US PIV Smart Card Standard, part of the FIPS 201/HSPD-12 Federal Security Initiative. PIVKey implements NIST SP 800-73 Part 3, the PIV Card Command Interface. Support for PIV is provided by a wide range of applications and middleware for Windows, OSX, Linux, Android, iOS, VMware and Citrix.
- * CUSTOMIZABLE - Printable white PVC allows you to customize your smart card as an ID badge by printing on the card using a direct to card DTC or high definition HDP printer.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the taglio pivkey c980 enterprise pki smart card thickness in ??mil**
A: About the same thickness of a credit card,

**Q: I am curious if the contactless portion of the card can use encoding: contact smart card w/ contactless (iclass mifare/desfire) & hid prox?**
A: Yes, the contactless interface can be used to encode the dual interface card.

**Q: Will this card work with the kleopatra open pgp program?**
A: Yes.  On windows you can use GPG4Win with Kleopatra to use you smart card for authentication.

**Q: Will this card work with OpenSC?**
A: This card will work with OpenSC, but with some limitations.  You can use a PIVKey card using the PIV interface.  This means that you can use a PIVKey with any application that support OpenSC (specifically the PKCS11 API), such as Firefox. You cannot generate keys or load certificates with OpenSC - the card is designed to use Windows Smart Card framework with the (free) PIVKey Admin kit.  Finally, OpenSC has been changed so that it does not support a PIN on the Card Credential. The PIV Auth, encryption and key credentials work fine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great service

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not for the faint of heart
*by J***H on August 10, 2019*

I thought I'd give these a try... however they seem to be above my pay-grade to make a functional access card. I'ver tried the PIV tools and active identity, both to no avail. I'm sure the product is sound, if only I was qualified.
