>From looking at Tehila web site it seems they do support Mac OS/X but do not support linux (yet, they say). However from looking into some of the card readers they offer, it seems that most card readers have Linux drivers. For example: http://www.athena-scs.com/product.asp?pid=1

Ok, finished! (at least in terms of hardware "research") The Tehila project suggest 5 card readers which are "supported" by them (well, someone will support, maybe, Tehila doesn't know how to support people), you can see the list here: http://www.gov.il/FirstGov/smartCard/business/businessStart/

The framework is there, daemon is there, I don't know if what Comsign sells is supported or not and how many variants of cards + readers they sell (let me guess: the cheapest ones, and they make tons of money from them). I'll talk to them tomorrow. Hetz 2010/11/14 Ori Idan > Which means the d
