BELPIC
BELPIC (Belgian Public Key Infrastructure Card) is a system component for macOS that provides cryptographic authentication and digital signature support for Belgian national ID cards. It acts as a token daemon, enabling secure access to smart card readers and integrating Belgian eID credentials with the system's keychain and authentication frameworks. The component is primarily used by government agencies, businesses, and citizens in Belgium who need to authenticate using their national ID cards for digital services, online banking, official document signing, or government portal access.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionBELPIC is a system component bundled as a token daemon (indicated by the ".tokend" suffix in its bundle ID), not a standalone application. This means it is installed and updated as part of a larger security or smart card management software package rather than directly. To determine whether a native Apple Silicon build is available, you should contact the vendor (Entrustis or your organization's IT department if this is a corporate installation) and ask whether the parent BELPIC installation package has been updated with a native build. Since search results are unavailable and we cannot confirm the vendor's current development status, we recommend reaching out to the Belgian eID support channels or your IT administrator to verify that your BELPIC installation is current and compatible with Apple Silicon Macs. If you are using an older installation that is Intel-only, it will continue to work under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), so a native build or updated package will be necessary before that release. In the meantime, check for software updates through whatever management tool originally deployed BELPIC to your Mac.
