Il Middleware CIE è un software necessario per utilizzare la Carta di Identità elettronica per l’accesso in rete ai servizi erogati dalle PP.AA.
L’esempio di utilizzo più frequente è l’accesso ad un servizio di una P.A. (ad esempio Agenzia delle Entrate) mediante il browser del computer (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera ecc.) in modo sicuro per il tramite della CIE: il middleware CIE interagisce con il browser per realizzare, in maniera del tutto sicura e trasparente all’utente, la comunicazione fra il lettore di smart card e il microprocessore della CIE.
All’utente è richiesto esclusivamente di inserire il PIN che ha ricevuto al momento della richiesta della CIE (1° parte) e della consegna di quest’ultima (2° parte) per sbloccare l’utilizzo della chiave e portare a termine il processo di autenticazione.
