There are no papers describing the NetkeyE4-standart in this detail?
So we are just concluding on it from seeing it implemented?
May be the cards here to not follow NetkeyE4 correctly, how would
we notice?


I wonder how you will conclude on the correct private-key from looking
at the cert.

Looks like one would need an other vector/number to describe, i.e.
ising ID 1.1 or something.


I have an idea for a different implementation: leave the current counting
of certs as it is. When an application tries to use cert with an ID that
has no private key with the same ID decrease the ID until we hit the ID
of an existing private key. That way i could still address all certs on
the card, which is a problem at the moment with the dirty hack.
OpenSwan should a) ask for the cert with ID 2 and get it, and b) ask
for privatekey ID 2 and get it.


I have no clue about smartcards, dont take me too serious ;)

Greetings, Christian.
