My EV code signing certificate is expiring, and I'm thinking about changing provider. However the new provider(Trust zone) is providing a SafeNet eToken 5100, the one I have now is a SafeNet eToken 5110.
My questions are these:
- What are the differences, if any?
- Does the SafeNet Authentication Client support the SafeNet eToken 5100?
I tried finding information about the differences online, and in the SafeNet documentation, but without any luck.
The SafeNet eToken 5110 is more recent than the 5100, it was released in 2015 while the 5100 was already available in 2011. The 5100 reached its end of life in 2017
The SafeNet authentication client 9.1 supports both, the 5100 is no longer mentioned as supported in the documentation of the version 10.8.
These tokens support different algorithms and certifications levels. The 5110 CC for example is CC EAL5+ certified and supports RSA 4096, the 5110 FIPS is FIPS 140-2 level 3 certified and is limited to RSA 2048, like the 5100.
