I'm asking for pkcs#11 provider to work under linux.
Hum this question is bound to a very wide range of answers...
The PKCS #11 just give a set of acces functions to the smartCard.
There are a lot of PKCS#11 providers in fact, the true problem is the way the file are stored, structured, made on the card.
Were the certs are stored, and how.
This point is fixed by the PKCS #15, but the cards vendors give windows drivers in order to work with *their* file structure (and hierarchy).
If you want your card to work under Linux, with the manufacturer personnalization, you have to make reverse engeneering on the files on the card and then code the provider... :(
I doubt there is any for Linux, because the future is not in closed, owned implementation based on PKCS #11, but on implemenation folowing the PKCS #15.
On Linux, there is only (as far as I know) OpenSC that handle PKCS #15. There is a driver for Mozilla (Linux/Windows/ Mac?).
There is no OpenSC crypto API provider (If one day there is a openSC crypto API provider, everybody will be very happy :))
I am sure I made mistakes in the email, because I don't know very well MUSCLE... I am sure the MUSCLE expert will be happy to correct me :)
I hope I helped in some way, _______________________________________________ mozilla-crypto mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-crypto
