Chip card reader cyber Jack®RFID komfort FON from REINER SCT creates barrier-free working conditions for people with visual impairments and blindnessFurtwangen, November 2021: Since the digitalization of federal, state and local authorities has been required by law, the world of work in public authorities and administration has also changed. Electronic legal transactions, e-files and online administrative services are now finding their way into the previously paper-based processes of courts, authorities and local authorities.
High security standards in electronic legal transactions
Electronic legal transactions in Germany are based on the electronic court and administration mailbox (EGVP), a specially secured communication infrastructure. In addition to data encryption, a key security factor is card-based user authentication and the electronic signature of documents and files. As a specialist in this field, REINER SCT, in close cooperation with the Federal Chamber of Notaries, has already developed the cyber Jack® RFID comfort on the market.
cyber Jack® RFID comfort FON creates barrier-free working conditions
The digitalization process of the authorities has so far lacked a solution that would have enabled people with visual impairments or blindness to participate in the special electronic lawyers’ mailbox (beA), special electronic public authorities’ mailbox (beBPO), special electronic notaries’ mailbox (beN), etc. without major hurdles. REINER SCT has now developed the barrier-free chip card reader cyber Jack® RFID comfort FON for electronic signatures with signature cards. The cyber Jack® RFID comfort FON uses the hardware and the award-winning design of the cyber Jack® RFID comfort and supplements it with a 2-tone audio output. Special display messages are now signaled with acoustic tone sequences and can therefore be heard by users. A keypad touch point on digit 5 is also used for orientation and facilitates input via the keypad. Barrier-free use of the entire digital process is possible with the cyber Jack® RFID comfort FON always ensures barrier-free use of the entire digital process. The audio signaling supports electronic signatures with contact-based signature cards from certified trust centers. The audio output can be switched on and off as required. This makes the chip card reader cyber Jack® RFID comfort FON can be used flexibly by people with and without visual impairments.
Tested and certified
The smart card readers with numeric keypad from REINER SCT guarantee secure PIN entry, because entering the signature PIN is, for example, a declaration of intent in the legal sense. The signature PIN must therefore be kept secret and protected against all attacks as far as possible. This is why REINER SCT chip card readers are also tested and certified by TÜV-IT, BSI and the German Banking Industry. As a result, the barrier-free chip card reader cyber Jack® RFID comfort FON can also be used with these applications without any problems: Online banking, eID function with the ID card, AusweisApp2, eIDAS and E-Akte Bund.
