Net iD Client: Access Security Tokens on Your Local Computer
Net iD Client is a free Chrome extension developed by Pointsharp AB. This add-on falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically listed under Add-ons & Tools. The primary function of this extension is to provide access to security tokens, such as smart cards, on your local computer.
To establish a connection between a website and the local computer, Net iD Client acts as a bridge, utilizing the web browser's native messaging interface. However, the extension requires the prior installation of Net iD Client on the computer and the enabling of the native messaging interface.
The functionality offered by Net iD Client depends on the access level configured in the software. The minimum access level allows users to create digital signatures, while the maximum access level grants the ability to administer the security token. For more detailed information, users can refer to the Net iD Client documentation.
To integrate the functionality of Net iD Client into a website, communication between the website and the extension is required. The recommended approach is to utilize the provided JavaScript file, which offers a uniform interface for various communication methods, including this extension, other web browser extensions, and older interfaces like ActiveX and NPAPI. For further guidance, users can consult the Net iD Client documentation.
