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 used for authentication and the client device. A virtual channel may be established between the server and the client device. The server may receive, from the client device a message including answer to reset (ATR) data of a smart card associated with the client device. The server may substitute the ATR data of the smart card with proxy ATR data of a proxy smart card. The server may determine, based on the proxy ATR data, a cryptographic service provider. The server may transmit, via the cryptographic service provider, via the virtual channel, and to the client device, one or more requests for a cryptographic operation involving the smart card.
