What is SDI011 Generic USB Smart Card Reader Driver?
The SDI011 Generic USB Smart Card Reader is a device driver for a USB-based smart card reader. A smart card reader is a piece of hardware used to read data from and interact with smart cards, which are typically used for secure authentication, digital signatures, or encryption purposes. These readers are often used in enterprise environments, banking systems, and government services for secure login, payment processing, or data protection.
The SDI011 driver helps the operating system (like Windows) communicate with and use the smart card reader effectively. The "Generic" designation means it can work with a broad range of smart card readers, rather than being tailored for one specific model or brand.
