Hi,
        Is it possible to extract private key from some (any) smart 
card? I'm using ActivCard equipement and it seems that it is not possible?

Thank you in advance,
Milan
Hi !
I don't know if it concerns really OpenSSL.
I know that few smart cards can generate key pairs but only the public 
key can be extracted. The Private key is only used to sign with. Few 
month ago I worked with gemplus GPK and GemExpresso smartcards and they 
work like it.
