Dear Frank, thank you for the information. I am working for a German IT security company, which implemented a rich set of tools for the nPA or ePass, respectively. I am currently writing a set of totally free tools to decode and display CV certificates (CVCA, DVCA, and Authentication Terminal).
This software is using OpenSSL and thus it would be great to support the Brainpool curves (my submitted patch is really minimal-invasive!). Kind regards, Ingo. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Frank Morgner via RT [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 13.

The first offers crypto algorithms to talk to the new German identity card the latter has tools (for example pace-tool), which can talk to the actual card. Both tested with ePA - BDr GmbH - Testkarte v1.00. Greets, Frank.
