You said you don't have a reader, but you do have a PKCS#11. So what does this PKCS#11 do to acesss PKCS#15? Is this all software?

Normally the private key is NOT readable, and maybe that is what you are seeing, PKCS#11 or PJCS15 is treating it as private. With a card you don't read the private key, you tell the card to perform some crypto operation using the key on the card. On many cards there is also a coresponding public key, that is readable. > Thanks in advance, > Eduardo Ellery -- Douglas E.
