REINER SCT cyberJack® RFID comfort USB-C
Professional Smart Card & RFID Reader with Secure PIN Entry
The REINER SCT cyberJack RFID comfort USB-C is a professional security card reader designed for securely using contact smart cards and contactless RFID cards with a computer or compatible device.
Unlike a conventional USB card reader used for SD or memory cards, the cyberJack is designed for identity verification, secure online banking, electronic signatures and other applications where protecting personal or financial information is important.
It connects via USB-C and features its own illuminated display and physical keypad, allowing sensitive information such as a PIN to be entered directly into the reader.
What Does It Actually Do?
Think of the cyberJack as a secure link between your physical smart card and your computer.
For example, when an application requires you to prove your identity using a compatible electronic ID or smart card, the cyberJack reads the card and communicates securely with the appropriate software.
Importantly, the PIN can be entered on the cyberJack's own keypad rather than typing it into the computer. This provides an additional layer of protection for sensitive authentication information.
The built-in display can also show information relating to an electronic ID transaction before access to the card's data is authorised.
Contact AND Contactless Cards
The cyberJack RFID comfort USB-C supports two different types of card technology.
Contact smart cards are physically inserted into the reader so that the card's chip makes contact with the reader.
Contactless RFID cards communicate wirelessly with the reader at very short range.
This makes the cyberJack suitable for organisations and individuals who may need to work with several different types of secure card.
What Can It Be Used For?
Depending on the card, country, service and software being used, applications can include:
- Electronic identity cards and eID authentication
- Secure online banking
- HBCI / FinTS banking applications
- chipTAN USB
- EBICS banking
- Qualified electronic signatures
- eIDAS applications
- Secure government and administrative services
- Professional smart-card authentication
- German ELSTER applications
- beA electronic legal communications
Some of these applications are specific to Germany, so customers should always check that their particular card, service and software support the cyberJack before purchasing.
Secure PIN Entry
One of the most important features of the cyberJack is its integrated keypad.
Instead of entering a smart-card PIN using the keyboard of your PC, the PIN can be entered directly into the card reader. This is particularly useful in security-sensitive environments because the PIN does not have to be entered through the computer keyboard.
The reader is classified as a Security Class 3 device and was developed on the basis of the German BSI TR-03119 specification.
Built-In Illuminated Display
The cyberJack also has its own illuminated LC display.
For supported eID applications, the display can show information concerning the requested authorisations before data is accessed, giving the user greater visibility over what is being authorised.

Who Is This Product For?
The cyberJack RFID comfort USB-C is primarily intended for business, professional, banking, government and security-conscious users rather than someone simply looking for an everyday USB accessory.
It's particularly useful where a physical smart card forms part of a secure authentication or electronic-signature system.
Important Compatibility Note
The cyberJack is the hardware card reader. Some applications require additional software, appropriate smart cards, certificates or services supplied by a bank, government authority or another third-party provider.
Customers should therefore confirm compatibility with their particular card and application before ordering.
In Simple Terms
The REINER SCT cyberJack RFID comfort USB-C allows a computer to securely communicate with compatible electronic ID, banking and professional smart cards. Its built-in screen and keypad provide a considerably more security-focused approach than a basic card reader, particularly when PINs and sensitive authentication information are involved.
