Hello,

Some smart cards require to enter the PIN before each signature for a
particular key (for for lawful digital signatures).
AFAIK the PKCS#11 API does not provide a mechanism so the token can
tell the application to display a GUI asking for the PIN.

I plan to use pinentry [1] developed for the GnuPG project. The GUI is
available in GTK+2, QT, Win32 and curses. GPGPINEntry [2] for Cocoa
(Mac OS X) is also available.


Is somebody else confronted with the same problem?
Do you know other existing solutions?

Thanks,
