HID® Crescendo® 2300 API

The HID Crescendo 2300 API documentation describes the low-level APDU commands supported by the following HID Crescendo devices:

This guide is intended for developers and integrators who need to work directly with the card’s or key's APDU interface for advanced configuration or custom integration.

It provides an introduction to the applications in the authenticator, and the shared mechanisms that secure access to the different services.

It then presents dedicated sections for PKI and OTP that explain how to create or load keys into the HID Crescendo device and how to subsequently use those keys for authentication, signature or encryption key exchange.

To explore the API documentation, enter keywords or phrases in the search bar or use the expandable menu in the top-left corner.

Note: The current documentation applies to Applets version 3.0.3 or later. (For information about the Applet version, see SELECT).
