What is a Smart Card Reader Keyboard Windows Driver?

A Smart Card Reader Keyboard Windows driver is a device driver that enables communication between your computer's operating system and a smart card reader integrated into a keyboard. Some keyboards come with built-in smart card readers, often used for enhanced security, where users need to insert a smart card (typically used for authentication) into the reader to gain access to their systems or encrypted data. The smart card reader functions like a security token, allowing the system to authenticate the user based on the inserted smart card.

The Windows driver is the software that allows Windows to recognize and interface with this smart card reader so it can be used effectively.
