SConnect Host is a lightweight background service that securely bridges web or desktop applications to local system resources. It enables tasks such as smart card authentication, digital signing, printing, and file exchange by providing a controlled, native connection to devices and files without exposing the broader system to risk.

Key features:


  • Secure native bridge between applications and local hardware or files
  • Permission-based access with whitelisting of allowed apps and actions
  • Works with modern browsers via native messaging where supported
  • Low resource usage; runs quietly in the background
  • Centralized configuration, logging, and policy controls for administrators
  • Auto-update and silent deployment options for enterprise environments
  • Proxy and corporate network compatibility
  • Cross-platform availability may be offered (Windows, macOS, Linux)

Typical use cases:


  • Smart card login and e-signature workflows
  • Enabling enterprise or government portals to interact with scanners, printers, or USB tokens
  • Secure file transfer between a web application and the local machine

Privacy and security:


  • Least-privilege design that exposes only explicitly permitted capabilities
  • No data is shared with third parties beyond what the integrated application requires
  • Auditing and opt-out controls available for administrators

Note: Features and platform support may vary by distribution. Refer to the accompanying documentation for specific setup steps and system requirements.
