VA does not maintain an exhaustive list of smart card readers that DO NOT work. It should be noted that the SCR331 (not to be confused with SCR3310) readers DO NOT work with the newer smart cards nor on Macintosh computers. The SCR331 model may have been issued by the VA to users in the past. Some devices include an integrated smart card reader (such as laptops or keyboards). While these may work with appropriate drivers, VA recommends the purchase and use of an external smart card reader for all non-VA equipment.
The external smart card readers in the below table have been identified by IDEMIA as known to work with the new USAccess smart cards for logical (computer) access (click here to identify the type of smart card you have been issued). The below list is not exhaustive, meaning there may be other manufacturers and models not on this list that also work with the new smart cards; this list has not yet been validated nor tested by VA.

The ultimate smart card reader in a small form factor for mobile and desktop secure smart card and Common Access Card (CAC) communications for:- Active Duty - DOD - Health Care Professionals - Transporatation Workers (TAA) - Reserves - Contractors - Students - Local Nationals - Civilian - Government - Retired Military - Homeland Security
The Stanley Global 111 is an easy to install USB 2.0 smart card reader compatible with a wide variety of computer operating systems and smart card operations for digital signature and authentication security.
If you are purchasing this smart card reader to perform DOD/GOVT CAC log on from your PC, please be aware that you will also need to acquire and install root certificates, middleware and cacenablers. The reader alone will not complete the log on process. Approved users can acquire this software from their command. In addition, root certificate installation and CAC registration may be required.
The Identiv SCR3310 V2 CAC USB Contact Smart Card Reader is suitable for a wide range of governmental, enterprise and home usage applications. Because to its design, the reader is also ideally suited to be bundled with smart cards and software to support large-scale project rollouts. Typical application areas of the SCR3310 V2 Smart Card Readers are electronic ID, social security and loyalty programs, e-couponing, secure network log-on, e-banking as well as online shopping and gaming activities.
Some USB devices are security-sensitive by nature, for example, smart card readers, fingerprint readers, and signature pads. Other USB devices such as USB storage devices can be used to transmit data that might be sensitive.
Flash memory cards, e.g., Secure Digital cards, are available in various formats and capacities, and are used by many consumer devices. However, while virtually all PCs have USB ports, allowing the use of USB flash drives, memory card readers are not commonly supplied as standard equipment (particularly with desktop computers). Although inexpensive card readers are available that read many common formats, this results in two pieces of portable equipment (card plus reader) rather than one.
Some manufacturers, aiming at a "best of both worlds" solution, have produced card readers that approach the size and form of USB flash drives (e.g., Kingston MobileLite,[70] SanDisk MobileMate[71]) These readers are limited to a specific subset of memory card formats (such as SD, microSD, or Memory Stick), and often completely enclose the card, offering durability and portability approaching, if not quite equal to, that of a flash drive. Although the combined cost of a mini-reader and a memory card is usually slightly higher than a USB flash drive of comparable capacity, the reader + card solution offers additional flexibility of use, and virtually "unlimited" capacity. The ubiquity of SD cards is such that, circa 2011, due to economies of scale, their price is now less than an equivalent-capacity USB flash drive, even with the added cost of a USB SD card reader.
An additional advantage of memory cards is that many consumer devices (e.g., digital cameras, portable music players) cannot make use of USB flash drives (even if the device has a USB port), whereas the memory cards used by the devices can be read by PCs with a card reader.
When using virtual machines, the principle of hardware virtualization is used and hypervisor software emulates devices used by VMs on the software level. Virtual controllers, disks, DVD-ROM, video card, network cards, input devices, and other devices are usually created in a virtual machine. Sometimes you may need to connect a physical device to a virtual machine directly. This device can be a printer, scanner, USB flash drive, USB hard disk drive, USB smart card reader, security dongles, USB license keys, etc. If your external physical device has the USB interface, you can attach this device to a virtual machine running on VMware Workstation and ESXi server. VMware allows you to connect USB devices to virtual machines by using the USB passthrough feature (passing the device through). This blog post explains how to use this feature on ESXi hosts in VMware vSphere.
PCSCD is the ESXi daemon that controls smart card readers. Access to USB smart cards is disabled for virtual machines to avoid conflicts because a smart card needed by an ESXi server. As a result, you cannot use USB passthrough with default configuration for USB smart cards. You need to edit the configuration of the ESXi host to enable USB passthrough for USB smart cards. 2ff7e9595c
