Gemalto delivers secure personal devices, software, and services through innovation and collaboration—
thus, enabling our clients to offer trusted and convenient digital services to billions of individuals. A key
component of these solutions is the smart card where Gemalto Smart cards solutions are considered a
secure, reliable and easy to use identification credential for corporate enterprise. Smart cards are consid-
ered a secure, reliable, and easy to use identification credential for corporate enterprise.
The corporate enterprise requires secure access to network resources from their Information Technology
Departments. IT Departments must provide authentication solutions that employees can use without creat-
ing undo time or effort. Gemalto and Hewlett Packard have combined their network access solutions to
deliver both security and ease of use. Replacing the outdated and easy to hack "user name and pass-
word" authentication method, corporate employees can log onto corporate recourses via HP thin clients
using the Gemalto GemXpresso Identification Card. While the employee needs only to remember a sim-
ple password, the GemXpresso ID Card protects the employee's identity with an advanced cryptographic
key without sacrificing log-on time. Along with secure access, the Gemalto GemXpresso ID Card can pro-
vide additional applications such as physical access control, digital signature certificates, VPN authenti-
cation and disk/file encryption.
Instructions for deploying the Gemsafe Libraries, SmartCard readers drivers to Thin Client, Thick Client,
CCI Blade or SAM server, in addition environmental network infrastructures such as Windows 2003
Server setup for DHCP, DNS, Active Directory, IIS including CCI SAM and Load Balancers is beyond the
scope of this white paper; therefore, the white paper assumes the customer has acknowledged RDP
enablement settings at both server and client, firewall settings are appended as necessary, and usage of
the Enhanced Write Filter are already functional and comprehended for usage and configuration.
