Certificate Propagation

Windows 7 Service Details

Description:

Smart Card certificate handling. Microsoft has included many smartcard services in Vista, but probably not too many people use them. Do not get these confused with memory cards, they are completely different things. SmartCards are used sometimes for logging into vista instead of a password. If you do not have a smartcard reader, this will never be enabled, so setting it to disabled will not affect system performance.

Service Description:

Copies user certificates and root certificates from smart cards into the current user's certificate store, detects when a smart card is inserted into a smart card reader, and, if needed, installs the smart card Plug and Play minidriver.
