Hi!

I have already sent some problems to this mail list, specially related to
installation of the tools. Now, I think everything is apparently OK, but I
have some doubts about the function of the tools.

I am participating of a project at my university that aims to create an
educational public key infrastructure. What we need to do here is:
1- create a key pair inside the card;
2- create and export a certificate requisition inside the card (or export
the public key and create the requisition outside it);
3- send the requisition to a certificated authority;
4- receive the certificate and keep it at any place: it can be at Firefox,
at card or at any file;
5- diffuse our certificate to the public in general;
6- write an e-mail (at Thunderbird) and sign it with the private key which
is inside the card or crypt it with the public key which is inside a
certificate that we imported from a third person.

My questions are:
- At the step 4, is it important to keep the certificate at the card? How
can I do this? Do I have to import the certificate to the card like an
object at XCard?
- How can I use my private key at Thunderbird? I have already installed
libmusclepkcs11, and Thunderbird recognizes my card; I can even log at
"Security Devices" window. But, at the moment of sign my e-mail, I don't
know how to use my private key...

Thanks in advance,
Amanda
