Software changes and technical improvements ER idCAT

In connection with the exchange of cryptographic cards that we sent you to announce on November 19, 2022, we put at your disposal el new software which you will have to install on all computers that operate with operator cards idCAT.

This new software will be needed when we start issuing certificates to the new cards, from April this year (the exact date will be confirmed later), which is why we recommend that you install it on your computers.

Once the new software is installed, you can verify it as indicated in the Requirements for opening and maintaining a Registration Entity idCAT.

To better prepare for the change and be able to test in advance, you can request test cards from us of the new model through the usual procedure for requesting test certificates, with their established public price, which you will find at descriptive page of the T-CAT service.

To improve the security of communications within the Digital Certification Service (SCD), on March 1, 2023 at 15 p.m., they will be offered with a security level starting from TLS 1.2. To verify the compatibility of equipment with TLS 1.2 before the changeover day, you can review the point regarding connectivity as covered by the FAQ of Requirements for opening and maintaining a Registration Entity idCAT. 

If you need more information, you can contact our Customer Care Center (CAU) through the Registration Entities Support Portal idCAT and the Support portal for T-CAT users.
