I've already post this to opensc mailing list but I'm not really sure where the problem is. So I also try my luck here.
I'm writing application which decrypts SMIME messages using smart card. I used source code of openssl cms command as reference. I'm able to decrypt already however I face the following problem. When smart card is removed while my application is running ENGINE_load_private_key still returns private key reference without any problem but later call to CMS_decrypt fails. Similarly when smart card is not present during first call to ENGINE_load_private_key it will continue to fail even after card is inserted again. I've tried to call ENGINE_init before key loading and ENGINE_finish and ENGINE_free after that but it didn't help. Only workaround I've found is exit the process and start it again. I would expect ENGINE_load_private_key to unlock the card if it is present and is not unlocked already and fail if there is no card inserted. I'm not sure what is going on here. Maybe I just got the concept wrong. I'm using debian testing with opensc 0.18.0-3 and openssl 1.1.0h-4. -- openssl-users mailing list To unsubscribe: https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-users
