RE: Accessing a Smart Card through Browser

[Salz, Rich]

If you want to do this:
SSL private key on the smartcard, cert can be in s/w

No problem.  Many vendors support this for a variety of browser releases.
To answer someone else's question, this is possible because both NS and IE
use common de-facto standards for crypto, etc., operations, and plugins
can provide overriding implementations of them. Behavior can sometimes be
a little awkward or "clunky."

We've had experience with Datakey.

Subject: Accessing a Smart Card through Browser

Dear Sir,
I want to use SSL Client authentication for my application. I want
to store my private key in a smart card rather than the browser's key
store. I want to install my client certificate in the browser and
private key in the Smart card. Whenever I enable a SSL Client
authentication at Web server, generally it will prompt the user to
select the certificate from the default certificate store of browser.
Once the certificate is selected it will prompt for the password to
access private key. I want to access this private key from a smart card
rather than storing it in key store. Is there any possibility of doing
this way in standard web based SSL Communication. May I request some
inputs on this at the earliest, as it is a immediate requirement.
Regards.
-Hari Gopal

I've heard some pretty bloody stupid things in my time, but this really
does take the biscuit.
