(Nasdaq: SCMM, Neuer Markt: SMY), a leading provider of solutions that open the Digital World, today announced that Microsoft Corp.’s Windows Division will use its smart card readers to develop a class driver for the USB Chip Card Interface Device (CCID) specification, facilitating the installation and support of future smart card readers. ----------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft will use SCM’s USB SCR331 CCID reader as a reference model to develop drivers for Windows XP and Microsoft .NET operating systems. This will simplify installation and lead to a generic ‘Plug and Play’ solution for smart card customers. ----------------------------------------------------------- “With Windows XP, we have focused heavily on making it easy for customers to connect USB devices to their PCs,” said Fred Bhesania, Program Manager in the Microsoft Windows Division. “As one of the first developers of a CCID smart card reader and an active participant in the USB Device Working Group, SCM was selected, among other hardware vendors, to test Microsoft’s beta driver. When used with SCM’s smart card readers, Microsoft’s driver will provide customers with an easy and secure way to access information.” ------------------------------------------------------------ “Being selected by Microsoft as a standard for USB CCID beta testing is testament to SCM’s industry leading digital access technology,” said Robert Schneider, CEO at SCM Microsystems. “By working with Microsoft, we are simplifying smart card technology, allowing Plug and Play access by eliminating the complicated installation process and helping drive down deployment costs. SCM is striving toward expanding the smart card market, and developing standards is a critical component for global acceptance.” ------------------------------------------------------------ For further information on the Microsoft USB CCID class driver development, please visit www.microsoft.com/hwdev/tech/input/smartcard/USB_CCID.asp.
