is an essential part of the Wave system and increases security -
"Virtual smart cards provide equal security to proven physical smart card security schemes, utilizing certificates to implement strong two-factor authentication. By using the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) that is already built in to over 550 million devices in the field, an organization starts with a silicon root of trust that can be extended with further use cases. VSCs and their associated certificates are flexible enough to address not only logon but also application-specific security, integrating with existing PKI schemes. Inclusion of virtual smart cards into a comprehensive security regime will significantly enhance your organizational security posture at a fraction of the cost of other alternatives."
