ASG-Deskside — YubiKey & smart card signingWorking

The key in their pocket, signing inside the session.

YubiKey and other PIV smart-card devices sign inside the Cameyo session. The application sends a fingerprint of what is being signed to the desk, the user confirms it, and the signature comes back. The private key never leaves the device.

Where it fits

Built for the work your people already do.

Payment approvals

Release and approval steps that need a hardware-backed signature, not a password.

Regulated sign-off

Sign-offs that must be tied to a named person’s certificate, with a verifiable trail.

Strong authentication

Hardware-key proof of identity for applications running in the session.

Document and transaction signing

Legacy applications that already expect a smart card, delivered through Cameyo.

How it works

Three steps for the user. Nothing new to learn.

The application in the Cameyo session is unchanged. ASG-Deskside does the work at the desk, and sends only the finished result into the session.

01

The application asks for a signature

From inside the Cameyo session, as it would on a local PC.

02

The user confirms at the desk

ASG-Deskside shows what is being signed. The PIN goes to the card, never to the page.

03

The signature comes back

With the certificate, ready for the application to verify.

1.6 KB

An entire signature and certificate reply.

0

Private keys that ever leave the device.

Every time

The user confirms each signature — it cannot be turned off.

1 tag

Turns signing on for an application.

Security

Safe by default.

  • The private key never moves. Only a short fingerprint of the data leaves the session; the key stays on the YubiKey or card.
  • Signing always asks a person. Each request shows what is being signed and is refused without a click.
  • The PIN is unreachable by the page. It goes straight to the card in an isolated context — never written to the page, logged or kept.
  • No substitutes. Pin a certificate and any other card is refused. Software keys are never used.
  • Enabled per application. Off by default everywhere else, and it fails closed.
Desks it works on

For your IT team

Turning it on takes two steps.

Force-install the ASG-Deskside extension through Chrome or Edge policy. Windows desks also get the small native helper. Then tag the application:

Configuration settings

Set on the Cameyo application (or server, group or account), one per line. Every ASG-Deskside application also carries the extension ID and channel tags; we set these up with you.

SettingDefaultWhat it does

!ASG_SEAL_THUMBnonePins one certificate. Any other card is refused, never substituted.
!ASG_SEAL_KEYtoken, then TPMWindows: token, tpm or any. Software keys are never used.
