D-Trust has been issuing new generation 29.x signature cards since November 2023, 5.
You can sign with these signature cards
- in Sign Live! CC from version 7.1.12
- in Sign Live! cloud suite bridge from version 7.1.12
- in Sign Live! cloud suite gears from version 8.12.1
However, the following restrictions and notes must be taken into account (see below).
Our current recommendation:
- If you need a new signature card, we recommend – due to these restrictions – a TELESEC card to use. This can auf dieser seite (at the bottom).
card initialization
- The initialization of the D-Trust card 5.x is only possible with the D-TRUST Card Assistant, which is provided to you by D-TRUST.
Mass signature with Sign Live! CC server / Sign Live! cloud suite gears
- The D-Trust 5.x card is not suitable, since both the CAN (Card Access Number) and the signature PIN must be re-entered when the program is restarted. In certain constellations, the card can be kept open during the signature process.
Single/batch/convenience signature in Sign Live! CC client / Sign Live! cloud suite bridge
- The D-Trust card is basically suitable for this purpose, but depending on the card reader, various restrictions must be observed and various settings must be made on the software side.
Please note when using a D-Trust card 5.x
General:
- The D-Trust 5.x signature cards have a new technical structure and therefore require adapted signature handling and, in some cases, a firmware update on the card readers used. The card readers recommended by D-Trust can be found on the D-Trust overview page under the heading “Available additional components”.
The card readers we tested are... data sheet documented. - additionally In addition to the signature PIN, a so-called CAN (Card Access Number) is sometimes necessary. Please pay careful attention to whether you are asked to enter the CAN or signature PIN. Otherwise there is a risk that the card will be blocked accidentally if you enter the wrong PIN.
- The CAN and the signature PIN are partially cached - depending on the signature program used and the settings made there. The card is kept open as long as the software is running and the card is inserted. When the program is restarted or the card is removed, the CAN and PIN must be re-entered.

Card reader REINER SCT RFID comfort and D-Trust card 5.x
- Hardware support for the PACE protocol is required for secure PIN entry on the card reader. The REINER SCT RFID comfort, for example, offers this.
- For card readers that only support the PACE protocol on the hardware side (for example REINER SCT RFID-komfort), PIN caching and insecure PIN entry not possible anymore. PIN caching is very often used in mass signature processes. Therefore, this combination is not possible.
- When using a D-Trust 5.x card, we recommend that you always switch off the RFID function on the card reader (on the hardware side) in order to ensure greater compatibility with different software settings.
- Please note that for the use of PURE SCT RFID convenience a Firmware update Instructions and the required driver can be found on the REINER SCT website here.
Card reader REINER SCT RFID standard:
- The REINER SCT RFID standard can be used from version 7.1.13 Please note that the RFID function on the card reader always switched off have to be.
Card readers that do not support RFID:
- card readers that no RFID do not support the PACE protocol of the D-Trust card 5.x. Therefore, for these card readers, when using the D-Trust card 5.x, the secure PIN entry disabled .
