Summary
The 'Universal Smart Card Browser Gateway' enables access to a smart card attached to your computer. Some of our web applications require access to a smart card inserted into your smart card reader for various use cases. This extension is a "native messaging extension" and works in conjunction with an application installed on your computer, which is also provided by the web application for installation. Without the extension or the native installed host application, the web applications cannot access your smart card. Access is restricted to the domains telesec.de and wcos.de.
Safety
Risk impact
Universal Smartcard Browser Gateway requires some risky permissions and may not be safe to use. Exercise caution when installing this add-on. Review carefully before installing.
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypass your security settings, and access your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Risk likelihood
Universal Smartcard Browser Gateway is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on, especially ones with higher risk impact and/or higher risk likelihood.
