The prefered way to install the drivers for the smart card reader and the smart card on MS Windows is through automatic installer for Infonotary. The automatic installer defines what to install depending on:
- devices you have
- the version of the operating system
Before you begin
- In order to work the automatic installer requires an Internet connection
- The process of the installation may take different amount of time, depending off your Internet connection
Using InfoNotary PNP Installer
If Infontary PNP Installer is already installed you may start it from Start menu > All Programs > InfoNotary > InfoNotary Software Installation. In case it is not installed, you can download it from HERE.

Instructions for signing documents with qualified electronic signature in InfoNotary e-Doc Signer
- The instruction was made using a version of InfoNotary e-Doc Signer NG 2.0.6.1164
About
InfoNotary e-Doc Signer is a program for signing and verification of digital documents in CAdES format. The format meets the requirements of a European standard, replacing the previously used CMS / PKCS7 format
File extensions
InfoNotary e-Doc Signer adds the following extensions corresponding to the operations performed:
- .p7m - extension for attached signature, generic signature and long-term signature
- .p7s - extension for detached signature and detached long-term signature
- .tsr - extension for timestamp validation
Signing of file
1. Start the software or right-click on the file then select InfoNotary e-Doc Signer NG > Sign.
2. Choose Signing scheme.
- Attached Signature - add file extension .p7m
- Detached Signature - add file extension .p7s.
- Generic Signature - add file extension .p7m, it contains timestamp from the timestamp server of InfoNotary, which proves the existing of the signature at the time of signing.
- Long-term Signature - add file extension .p7m, it contains timestamp from the timestamp server of InfoNotary, which proves the signature and the protected content of the document existing at the time of signing.
- Detached long-term Signature - add file extension .p7s,it contains timestamp from the timestamp server of InfoNotary, which proves the signature and the protected content of the document existing at the time of signing.
3. Choose available certificate from the list. Click Sign and dial your PIN code.
4. The software creates a file in the directory with extension that corresponding to the signing scheme that you've chosen.
Verifying a signed file
1. Start the software or right-click on the file then select InfoNotary e-Doc Signer NG > Verify.
2. Double click on the added signature, to see more details.
- For verification you can also use InfoNotary qualified validation service
Timestamping
The software uses the timestamp server of InfoNotary
1. Start the software or right-click on the file then select InfoNotary e-Doc Signer NG > TimeStamp.
2. The action creates timestamp signing from independent server (not from your local computer), and create file in the directory with extension .tsr.

Before proceeding you must do
If you have smart card reader and smart card from InfoNotary, but you didn't install the drivers for them do the following use repositories of InfoNotary.
- IMPORTANT: Chromium uses direct access to the smart card. When you have successfully installed your certificates, you SHOULD NOT delete them from there, as this will also delete the certificate, along with the private and public keys on the smart card. After that, the certificate cannot be restored and a new one must be issued.
Install InfoNotary certificate chain
Before you proceed, you need to download InfoNotary trusted certificates.
- To install start Chromium and go to Settings > Privacy and security > Security > Manage certificates
- Choose section "Your certificates", click button "Import" and choose the path to the dowloaded file – InfoNotary_Qualified_eIDAS.p12.
After that you will be asked for password. leave the field blank and click OK.
- From section "Authorities" search for InfoNotary TSP Root and click "Edit"
- Marks as it is shown on the screen below:
Adding your smart card PKCS11 library
- After the certificate chain is installed you need to add a PKCS#11 library for your smart card. Because Chromium doesn't have an interface for adding libraries you must do the following:
- Install NSS tools. In Debian based distributions the package is libnss3-tools
- Close Chromium and unplug your reader from your computer.
- Start Terminal
- Create a directory for the database of NSS with the following command - mkdir -p $HOME/.pki/nssdb
- After that add the library using this command:
- for IDPrime - modutil -add "IDPrime" -libfile libIDPrimePKCS11.so -dbdir sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -mechanisms FRIENDLY
- for Bit4ID - modutil -add "Bit4id" -libfile libbit4ipki.so -dbdir sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -mechanisms FRIENDLY
- for OpenSC - modutil -add "OpenSC" -libfile onepin-opensc-pkcs11.so -dbdir sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -mechanisms FRIENDLY
In case you have Siemens driver you must chanhe the library with libsiecap11.so, and the name to Siemens.
Plus the reader and start Chromium.
- Now you can see your certificates in the settings and use them for logins in sites, which require QES.
Example for adding Bit4ID module:
* skk@skk:~$ sudo apt-get install libnss3-tools Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: libnss3-tools 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/1021 kB of archives.

If want to delete an added library you have to change -add with -delete
modutil -delete "Bit4id" -libfile libbit4ipki.so -dbdir sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -mechanisms FRIENDLY
For example:
* skk@skk:~$ modutil -delete "Bit4id" -libfile libbit4ipki.so -dbdir sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -mechanisms FRIENDLY WARNING: Performing this operation while the browser is running could cause corruption of your security databases.

Help and instructions
In case you have a problem with your QES, you can use the following programs to help identify the problem:
The program supports sending the information directly to Infonotary. After successful sending it will display a number that you will need to provide to the support team so they can see the test results. If the send is unsuccessful or you do not have an Internet connection, you can save the test result to a file and send it to support@infonotary.com.
It is desirable to have the reader and card plugged into the computer when running the test.
Linux
On Linux this program uses one of following packages to show its user interface - python-tk for Debian/Ubuntu, tkinter for Fedora/RedHat or zenity. If you do not have any of them installed, it will still work, but only from terminal.
Some distributions disables starting of programs from file manager. In this case you can do the following - open terminal, drag executable file from file manager, drop it on terminal and press Enter key to start it.
Alternative method to start our test program is to copy file in clipboard and paste it in terminal. After this you must remove first part of file address (file://), until only one slash (/) is left in the start. After this you can start it with Enter.
In both cases you should see path like this one in terminal - /home/test/Downloads/SystemInfo/SystemInfo-x86_64
In case you dialed three wrong PIN codes your card is blocked and you need to unblock your PIN, using Infonotary Smart Card Manager.
Install Infonotary Smart Card Manager - Windows (32 bit or 64 bit), Mac, Linux (Fedora, Red Hat x86 or amd64; Debian, Ubuntu, Mint x86 or amd64).
Open Smart Card Manager, mark yours smart card (InfoNotary) and choose Unblock PIN
Enter your AIN code in the new window and type your new PIN code twice. The AIN code can be found on the printout, titled "Smart Card Access Rights", which you received along with you smart card (sample printout).
Warning: In case you enter three times wrong AIN for Bit4id and five times for Siemens you will permanently block the smart card and it should be replaced!
