Your authentication is based on the principle that only the bearer of the smart card and the associated PIN code will be able to answer a mathematical challenge sent by our web server. To use the authentication, follow a few simple steps.

Be careful during the first steps, because entering the PIN code incorrectly 3 times blocks the smart card.
