Smartcard TLS
Port 4116 is designated for Smartcard TLS communication, which facilitates secure interactions between smartcard-enabled devices and authentication servers. It supports both TCP and UDP protocols, enabling versatile deployment scenarios for authentication, secure access, and identity verification services..
Smartcard TLS over port 4116 facilitates encrypted communication channels that leverage smartcard technology for authentication and secure data exchange. Smartcard systems utilize embedded microprocessors to perform cryptographic operations, manage identities, and store sensitive credentials. By integrating Transport Layer Security (TLS), communication over this port ensures data integrity and confidentiality during exchanges with smartcard readers and authentication servers.
Usually, systems utilizing this port manage secure authentication for enterprise access control, user login, secure network transactions, and cryptographic signing operations. The use of both TCP and UDP provides flexibility; TCP ensures reliable delivery and connection-oriented transfers, while UDP may be used in scenarios where speed and low latency are prioritized over guaranteed delivery, such as initial device discovery or certain signaling processes.
The protocol implementation focuses on enabling secure session establishment, credential verification, and encrypted data transfer, often integral to certificate-based authentication workflows. Integration into identity and access management systems supports multifactor authentication solutions combining smartcards, PINs, and biometric data.
