Sample code uses ES6 language features such as arrow functions and promises. For compatibility with IE11, code written with these features must be either transpiled using tools like Babel
or refactored accordingly using callbacks.
Migration from the v2 to the v3 of the Trust1Connector can be done in 2 ways;
Integration of the API
Integration via the deprecated Javascript SDK
Both are viable integrations but we strongly suggest to integrate via the API since the JS SDK does not include all features, only the ones which were available in the v2. When integrating via the API you have more control over the Javascript packages used.
The Javascript SDK has the following packages as dependencies;
For updating your web application first of all you need to use the new Javascript SDK. After this there are some differences in using the SDK from the v2.
The configuration from the v2 has changed, we simplified this.
The v2 had the following configuration options;
With the v3 this is significantly simplified to the following;
Some of the config options of the v3 are still in review and can be removed up until the final release of the v3, in the table below you will find more information
V2 config option
V3 config option
Description
gclUrl
t1cApiUrl
in the V2 this was https://localhost:10443 while in the V3 this will be https://t1c.t1t.io (for T1T)
t1cApiPort
is the port where the webserver is listening on, in the v2 this is 10443 but in the v3 by default(T1T) this is 51983
t1cProxyPort
This value represents the port where the Proxy webserver is listening on. By default this is 51983

After you've created your configuration object you can do the initialisation of the Trust1Connector SDK. This has largely remained the same except for the error codes.
V2 example:
V3 example;
Running the Trust1Connector in a shared environment, such as Citrix, XenApp and Remote Desktop, requires additional installation steps. In this section we explain the concept and approach used.
The Web Application can use the T1C-SDK-JS or a custom REST API client for integration purpose. As the Web Application operates in a browser context, resolving an agent, by means of a consent, will result in a browser cookie being provided.
The T1C-SDK-JS implements the detection of a Shared Environment during the initialisation of the library. When initialisation succeeds without a controlled exception, the setup is a standalone; when the initialisation throws an 401 Error, the T1C-SDK-JS can be used to request the user for a Consent.
When using the REST API directly form your web application, reading the browser cookie and performing the initialisation must be done by the integrating Web Application itself.
Compared to Trust1Connector v2, the v3 release has a separate component to be be installed on a shared host. This component is called the T1C-Proxy
and only exposes the following use cases:
Verify random available ports [in a predefined range] which can be used by an Agent (Session of T1C-API running in user space)
Port reservation upon installation of a new T1C-API in an active user session
Port registration upon initialisation of a T1C-API in an active user session
Management of an in-memory list of active Agents
Management of user consents in a shared environment by means of browser cookies with an optional configurable TTL (time to live)
The T1C-Proxy
operates by Default on the API port defined in the T1C-DS
(Distribution Server). From a Web Application perspective, this is the only information known. When a Web Application requests the information of the device, the PROXY device type will inform the Web Application that the targeted underlying API is a PROXY, which means that the Web Application must ask for the Agent specific API port to configure an URI which can be used to execute the use cases.
When using the T1C-SDK-JS
this is done implicitly during initialisation.
A T1C-API
installed for a specific users runs in [User Space]. To avoid possible attack vectors, the Trust1Connector v3 will always run in [User Space].
Upon installation of the T1C-API
, during the post install phase, the T1C-API
will try to verify automatically if it is running in a shared environment. If this is the case, the T1C-API
will ask the T1C-Proxy for available ports and will reserve those post, prior to initialisation and startup.
The ports which are reserved by the T1C-Proxy
are the following:
T1C-API
Port: This is the port exposing the OpenAPI interface towards Web Applications and used by the T1C-SDK-JS
The T1C-gRPC
instance is inherently a component from the T1C-API
, and thus is managed by the T1C-API
. As each user must have it's own hardened runtime for communication purpose, the port assigned for T1C-gRPC
will be registered and configured by the T1C-API
(and restarted when needed).
Starting from this release (v3) of the Trust1Connector, each device must have a link with an active and running T1C-DS (Trust1Connector Distribution Server). This is to guarantee security, updates, and avoid potential risk in production.
The T1C-DS is proceeded by an API Gateway who is managing the security offloading in the application layer. For a Web Application to communicate with a T1C-Proxy or T1C-API, a JWT (Json Web Token) is needed and obliged. The T1C-DS is responsible for the key management, the certificate management and other use cases which are described in a separate wiki.
In order to retrieve a valid JWT, the T1C-DS can be requested from your application back-end with a valid api-key. The JWT is valid for a given amount of time, and sets the context used when requesting the T1C-API on a device.
You can find the trust1connector JS SDK for the Trust1Connector v3 via NPM
The following schematic seems rather complicated as it explains the inner workings of the Trust1Connector components, the concept is elaborate further on this page. If you are only interested in what the integration impact is for your Web Application in a Shared Environment, you can skip directly to the section:
When receiving ports during post-install, an user agent device is temporary RESERVED
in the Agent Registry of the T1C-Proxy
. Upon T1C-API initialisation, the port configurations will be confirmed and the Agent Registry will set the device state on REGISTERED
. From this moment on, a T1C-API instance, running in an active user session, will be available for the Web Application via the .
You can also find the source code here
A Web Application interacts with the Trust1Connector on standalone devices or within a shared environment. The Web Application is not aware, but must take this into consideration upon integration.
Sample code uses ES6 language features such as arrow functions and promises. For compatibility with IE11, code written with these features must be either transpiled using tools like Babel or refactored accordingly using callbacks.
Integrating the Trust1Connector can be done via the Javascript SDK. This SDK is compiled in regular javascript and in Typescript. Each release of the Javascript SDK will have the following files;
dist
T1CSdk.js (complete SDK)
T1CSdk.js.map
lib (typings, default Typescript compilation)
lib-esm (typings, Compilation with ES6 module support)
In V3 of the Trust1Connector the javascript SDK is meant as a comparable manner of integrating like the V2. The SDK includes most of the API featureset but not all.
We strongly encourage to integrate via the API, since this will be the most feature-complete and the de-facto way of integration in the future.
For initialisation of the T1C you need to prepare your application first by adding the SDK JS files to your project and importing them in such a way that you can call for the Javascript functions when you need them.
Next up we will prepare the SDK's configuration Object, this object is used to pass information about which default port the Trust1Connector is running on, JWT key, API url, ...
When the configuration is set you can initialise the Trust1Connector with that Config and an optional property for clipboardData. This clipboard data is used for initialisation of the Trust1Connector in a shared environment. This will be handled later.
You can see in the code above we catch 3 errors;
814501: Consent error, this means the user is running in a shared environment and needs to provide his consent
812020: Initialisation error: The Trust1Connector is not able to initialise because it could not find any users with a Trust1Connector installed.
To retrieve the reader after initialisation you can do the following;
After initialisation of the T1C you can start using it. For example the BEID module needs to be initialised with a readerId, That is why fetching the readers and providing the user-selected reader to the client is a necessity.
The code above will return a BEID client which can be used to execute the BEID functionality.
For initialising the Trust1Connector in a shared environment you need to setup the config so that it contacts the Proxy. When initialising you need to provide a token that is residing on the user's clipboard, via this clipboard token the Proxy can determine which which user is trying to communicate and will return an updated configuration value for the API and the sandbox service.
This configuration update is handled by the SDK itself.
The code above is an example of how you can integrate a copy command in the webbrowser
112999: T1C exception, this will be thrown when the T1C is not available, where you can display an URL where the user can
Initialisation of the Trust1Connector for shared environments is similar to the regular initialisation with the difference being a required consent. More information can be found in the page.
Sample code uses ES6 language features such as arrow functions and promises. For compatibility with IE11, code written with these features must be either transpiled using tools like Babel or refactored accordingly using callbacks.
The Trust1Connector supports user consent mechanism for applications:
implicit user consent: the user will be provided with a consent token which can be pasted into his clipboard. The T1C-GCL will implicitly retrieve the consent token form the clipboard and perform a verification (the token pasted in the clipboard - form the application context - should match with the token available on the clipboard for the T1C-GCL)
The consent can be configured to have an expiration date, when this expiration date has been exceeded, a new consent will be asked towards the user.
If the consent has been enabled upon installation of the Trust1Connector, a user will not be able to retrieve any data from the connector without first giving its consent, agreeing to give access to his/her card reader of filestorage. Without this consent, all requests will return a 401 Unauthorized response with error code 500 No valid consent found or at initialisation of the Trust1Connector SDK an error code 500 No valid consent found. The application should detect these error codes and use it to trigger the consent dialog.
The application shows this code word on screen and provide a button for 'copy-to-clipboard'. When the user has copied the code word to the clipboard (on user click button event), an implicit consent request can be executed towards the T1C. The T1C will grab the pasted code word from the user system clipboard and if both match, an implicit user consent has been granted for the calling application. The relation between the application and the local T1C instance is 'approved'. At this point the Trust1Connector returns a cookie that should be stored in the browser. This cookie will be re-used the next time the user wants to use the Trust1Connector until the cookie expires.
Initially the concept was based on copying programmatically the code word, from the application context, to the user system clipboard. Although, through CAB forum, this not allowed; A user interaction is mandatory. The application should provide a 'copy-to-clipboard' button or alike in order to 'trigger' a user action. Once this action has been done, the T1C executes the flow automatically, this is retrieval and verification of the code word.
Sending an implicit consent request can be done as follows:
This call has 1 required and 2 optional parameters:
Code Word (required): a code word in string format that will be shown in the consent dialog.
Consent duration in days (optional): Allows the application the specify how long this consent is to be valid if granted. If not provided, the default value is 365 days.
Callback function (optional): function to be called with the result of the consent request.
The response of the consent will be an updated T1C Client which you after this point can use to continue your use-case(s).
The response can also be a 400 Bad Request with status code 814501 or 814500 "No agents registered to the proxy service" which means that the request has been sent with the unique code but the Proxy cannot not find the user associated with it by checking the clipboards of all connected users.
This could mean that there is no T1C API client present or it is not running correctly.

The Trust1Connector
core services address communication functionality with local devices. The Trust1Connector
core exposes 2 main interfaces:
interface for web/native applications using JavaScrip/Typescript
REST API as a new approach and to incorporate the Trust1Connector
as a microservice in the application architecture
In this guide, we target only the use of Trust1Connector's
core interface for web/native applications.
The T1C-SDK-JS
exposes protected resources for administration and consumer usage.
The JavaScript library must be initialized with a correct token in order to access the all resource. The security policy for Trust1Connector
v3 secured ALL endpoints.
Protected resources are administration resources. The JavaScript library must be initialized with a correct token in order to access the resource.

The Trust1Connector functionalities are about secured communication
with device hardware.
The document highlights communication with smart card readers - contact and contact-less. Other hardware devices can be enabled or integrated as well in the solution. Some of the already are, for example printer drivers, signature tablet drivers, ...
The client can be initialized by passing a T1CConfig
object in the constructor
Returns a list of available card readers. Multiple readers can be connected. Each reader is identified by a unique reader_id
.
The response will contains a list of card readers:
When multiple readers are attached to a device, the response will show all connected card readers:
Important to notice:
The response adds a card
-element when a card is inserted into the card reader.
The response contains card-reader pin-pad
capabilities
As mentioned in the List card-readers
, when a smart-card is inserted/detected, the reader will contain the cart-type based on the ATR. The ATR (Anwser To Reset), is the response from any smart-card when powered, and defines the card type.
The Trust1Connector
recognized more than 3k smart-card types.
As mentioned in the List card-readers
, when a card-reader has pin-pad capabilities, this will be mentioned in the response (notice the pinpad
property):
The following example is the response for List card-readers
on a device with 4 different card-readers attached:
In the above example you notice that 4 card-readers are connected. Each card-reader receives his temporary id
which can be used for other functions where a card-reader id is needed.
This method can be requested in order to list all available card-readers, and optional cards-inserted.
Each card-reader has a vendor provided name, which is retrieved from the card-reader itself.
An additional property pinpad
, a boolean
value, denotes if the card-reader has pin-pad capabilities. A pin-pad is a card-reader, most of the times with its own display and key-pad.
From a security perspective, it's considered best practice to use as much as possible pin-pad capabilities of a pin-pad card-reader.
When a reader has a smart-card inserted (contact interface) or detected (contactless interface), the card type will be resolved by the GCL in order to respond with a meaningful type.
In the above examples you see that; one card-reader has a Belgian eID card; another card-reader has a MisterCash
or VISA Card
available for interaction.
The readers returned, are the card-readers with a card available. The card-readers where no card is presented, are ignored.
Returns a list of available card readers with a smart card inserted. Multiple readers can be connected with multiple smart cards inserted. Each reader is identified by a unique reader_id
and contains information about a connected smart card. A smart card is of a certain type. The Trust1Connector
detects the type of the smart card and returns this information in the JSON response.
Response:
via the getDevicePublicKey endpoint you're able to fetch the public key information of the device. This requires an authenticated client to be able to access this endpoint.
This endpoint is used in the library to encrypt pin, puk and pace information so that it is not exposed in the network logs of the browser.
Encryption of pin, puk and pace is only possible when the Trust1Connector is registered via a DS and has a valid device key-pair. The SDK will automatically switch to send the pin, puk or pace info in clear text if its not able to encrypt. The Trust1Connector API will also detect if it has no valid device key-pair it will not try to decrypt the incoming pin, puk or pace information.
