Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and Citrix DaaS support smart cards both for logging into virtual desktops and applications and for use within active sessions. Smart cards provide certificate-based, two-factor authentication that strengthens security by requiring both the physical card and a PIN. This allows organizations to meet compliance requirements, protect sensitive data, and streamline access for users who already rely on smart cards for Windows logon or secure applications. Once authenticated, users can also use their smart cards inside the session to digitally sign documents, encrypt email, or access other smart card–enabled applications, ensuring a consistent and secure experience across both local and virtual environments.

See the smart cards documentation for more details.
