Ok: ISO7816-4 is not sufficient to write a Crypto SSP for any SmartCard ! However, for the project I'm thinking about, the integration of SmartCard technology (using MUSCLE) in the OpenCA project, I just need (for my thesis work) one Crypto SSP working with one SmartCard, but I don't know which one ! I've not understood whether I can find NOW any Crypto SSP working with some card or not. If yes, I'd like to use it. If not, I'll write it by myself (or help anyone who is writing it) ! If you please could give me guidelines on the selection of such a SmartCard that, for the purposes of the OpenCA project, should be required to support at least: - an algorythm for Key Generation - an algorythm for calculating Digital Signatures - an algorythm for Authentication I think there is no need to use Basic- or Java- or Whatsoever- Cards for such an application. Please, let me know what you think about it !
