Since it's fully transparent to the application and the user, it can be used without any modification or adjustment to existing applications. The benefits of using smart cards are that sensitive information is physically protected within the card, accessed only by the correct PIN, and can easily be moved between workstations. This makes smart cards an ideal tool in a multi-application environment. Configuration information can be found in the central X.500 directory and each application can get information directly from the smart card. Hence different levels of security can be achieved in an intranet.
Smart cards guarantee a secure identification and authentication of a user.
