Features

NextVSC version 1.5 introduces two new significant features:

  • NextVSC Mobile (Limited Availability)

  • NextVSC Credential Provider

NextVSC Mobile

NextVSC Mobile extends the existing solution built on the TPM-based Virtual Smart Card (VSC) on desktop, to also support the Mobile VSC that resides inside Smart ID Mobile App (iOS & Android).

By using a QR-code pairing process the end-user can now connect their PKI-based Mobile VSC to their Window 10 or 11 computer and use Smart ID Mobile App as a physical smart card to perform their daily tasks.

Typical use-cases are Windows Logon, PDF Signing, S/MIME email security, TLS authentication and more.

NextVSC Credential Provider

NextVSC 1.5 introduces a custom Credential Provider for Windows 10 and 11, integrating directly with the Windows sign‑in experience. This enables a more intuitive and consistent login flow, with clearly defined and branded authentication options, including dedicated icons for mobile-based and TPM‑based Windows Logon.
