CRYPTOGRAPHIC CARD FNMT-RCM

The FNMT-RCM cryptographic card generates the cryptographic keys internally, which prevents them from being accessed from the outside, and all cryptographic operations are carried out using the private key inside the card itself. The private key cannot be used or copied from the outside.

The card offers as public key algorithms RSA up to 3840 bits and Elliptic Curves up to 521 bits; SHA-256 for hashing and AES-192 for symmetric encryption. The card operating system, designed and implemented by FNMT-RCM, follows the PC/SC specifications and provides PKCS#11, CSP and Card Module interface to the applications. Access protection to the card is provided by PIN.

The FNMT-RCM cryptographic card is currently in the process of certification according to the Common Criteria methodology with an EAL4+ assurance level according to the Protection Profile for secure signature creation devices, EN419211 defined in Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/650 of 25 April 2016.

Likewise, the design, development and production environment and processes of the FNMT-RCM cryptographic card have been certified by the National Cryptologic Centre in accordance with the aforementioned methodology.

The FNMT-RCM cryptographic card supports the use of different standard X.509.v3 electronic certificates, regardless of the Certification Authority issuing the certificates, and can be used as a logon element in Windows.
