e-CPS
A mobile app to identify health professionals and access digital services
The health professional card, or CPS card, is a digital ID for healthcare workers. It attests of its holder’s qualifications and identity. The card is issued by the ANS, which is the certifying authority designated for the health sector.
The technical framework is proposed for development purposes, with the aim to boost new digital solutions that implement the security functionalities of the CPS card.
Regardless of the exploitation system used (Windows, MacOS, Linux), the technical framework provides you with guidelines to:
1,556,950 CPx-type cards are currently active
830,023 active CPS cards
48,577 CPF (Training Personnel Card) are currently active
Note: In part 3.1, “Test CPS usage”, describe the uses intended for your project and the test cards.
The Minidriver is the latest generation of pilots for Microsoft, in particular for chip card products.
It allows the use of two features of the CPS3 card: the contact feature and the contactless feature (conform to the IAS-ECC standard).
Warning: Cryptolib CPS is required to be installed prior to using the MiniDriverCPS in order to insure compatibility.
Use the CPS Gestion app to use the card in complement to the MiniDriver
Token driver is installed at the same time as the CPS Gestion app.
There is no driver for Linux, but you can deploy Cryptolib to use it.
CPS Cryptolib is a software component to connect CPS cards with digital apps meant for the management of health practices and pharmacies.
Cryptolib is necessary to exploit all the possibilities offered by the CPS card, such as electronic signature, contactless forms and health insurance authentication. Cryptolib is set up on web browser in order to allow access to the DMP portal. It must be installed on your computer to let you use CPS cards.

The ANS answers the most common questions about the CPS card and framework
CPx cards issued before December 2020 have a contactless chip that prevents from overwriting its code.
The new CPS R3V3 cards that are now in circulation have a Mifare Desfire chip. These cards can stock crypto-secret keys that work with the Mifare Desfire protocol.
All the information about this feature is available in the Manual to deploy contactless CPx cards (available to download below). One must be cautious about the data inserted in the chip’s writing code.
We strongly advise against using this section of the chip to stock access rights. The ANS recommends you to use the ANSSI guidelines on using a "transparent" reader in connected mode. This does not involve a cryptographic protocol during a badge authentication – only the UTL (logic treatment unit) takes part in the cryptographic protocol.
ANSSI advises against setting up a “smart” badge allowing a double authentication breaking from the UTL.
All the recommendations on securing systems for physical access and video projection are available in the document below, "Recommendations on securing systems for physical and video projection access".
