Abstract
Methods and systems for faster and more efficient smart card logon in a remote computing environment are described herein. Fast smart card logon may be used to reduce latency and improve security. For example, the system may reduce the number of operations (e.g., interactions) between a server device used for authentication and the client device. A remoting channel may be established between the server device and the client device. The server may receive, from the client device and/or via a personal computer/smart card (PC/SC) protocol, a message comprising an identifier for a smart card. The server device may replace the identifier for the smart card with a substitute identifier. Based on the substitute identifier, the server may determine one or more cryptographic service providers to use for one or more cryptographic operations associated with the smart card. One or more requests for cryptographic operations involving the smart card may be transmitted to the client device, such as via the cryptographic service provider and/or via the remoting channel.
