"Since PCSCv2 part 10 v2.02.07 from March 2010" and "Do not expect any thing from Microsoft. Their CCID driver and PCSC middleware are frozen in ice since some time (in years)." I thud don't believe it will be universally available, even with vendor drivers on Windows (what IMHO is the default, as Windows update usually wants to download the vendor drivers if you have the reader plugged) any time soon. >> I guess 99% of people don't have longer than 6 or 8 digit PIN-s in real life >> (which also seems to be the way Gemalto things) > > I also think so. What about reseting the size limits to what the reader supports in the driver? What does the Windows driver do with PIN sizes that do not fit into the supported range? I think limiting the lower limit to 4 digits would be a good idea for OpenSC as well... -- Martin Paljak http://martin.paljak.pri.ee +3725156495 _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
