Red Hat Summit1.3. Supported smart cards
There are four types of cards that are supported by Red Hat Enterprise Linux: coolkey cards, CAC, PIV, and PKCS #15. For more details about the differences between the types of the cards, read the corresponding documentation.
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the following types of smart cards are supported:
Cards with Coolkey applet:
- Gemalto TOP IM FIPS CY2 64K token (SCP01)
- Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) SmartCafe Expert 7.0 (SCP03)
- SafeNet Assured Technologies SC-650 (SCP01)
- CAC and PIV smart cards. For more information, see Personal Identity Verification of Federal Employees and Contractors (PIV)
- Selected PKCS #15 cards are also supported. While several cards in this family are supported, there are many different configurations and options for these cards. For fully details on what cards are compatible with RHEL, contact your customer representative.
- Additionally, other cards may be supported at Red Hat’s discretion. For details on other cards supported, contact your customer representative.
For more information on hardware requirements, see Smart Card support in RHEL.
1.3.1. Supported smart card readers
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the smart card readers supported follow the pcsc-lite upstream project. Most CCID compatible readers should work without any issue. Red Hat periodically updates the USB identifiers from the upstream project into our pcsc-lite-ccid driver. Furthermore, additional readers may be supported at Red Hat’s discretion. The following list of smart card readers are tested and verified by Red Hat:
- SCR331/SCR3310
- Omnikey 3121 (must be part number R31210399 for the SC650 card)
For a list of supported hardware in the upstream project, see Supported CCID readers/ICCD tokens.
