One thing we need to start thinking about, in product engineering for the MAC OS is the need for pcscd to cooperate with a virtual machine and/or a machine emulator that has a role in supporting card and session management by the hosted OS that eventually consumes a card session.
Given movements in the emulator market, I think the MAC's service
needs to firm up fast, and become locked down. Otherwise, engineers
are going to go around it, to meet market demand. Ideally, we would want the
visio application running under a PC emulator to be able to sign a persisted document
using the common access card just as we want the ability to have the
native MacOS Word of Adobe application to similarly sign its document type, in a parallel
window. The two session managers HAVE to cooperate, to make MAC viable in
the DoD office environment. This will become worse if we start using a single
card to support two non-copoperarting session managers supporting different
implementations of SSL.
I suspect we can think about reusing some of the design work that Spyrus developed
for NSA/DoD , late 90's, to allow for card state sharing, hot swapping of crypto cards on a given
card session, etc.
--------
We also need to ensure the muscle application can be operated when the ICC is still
on the manufacturing tape. Need to ensure it can operate before any std fuses are
burned, etc. For military applications requiring millions of crypto co-processors, viable
operation while tape mounted is vital: tape-and reel is very amenable to robotics, and fast
streaming through code maker/breakers, etc. HOt swapping, and fast USB channel
reset is vital in this application.

Hi,
That was a known bug with pcsc-lite-1.1.1 on Mac OS X. Your CardMand 2020 driver should work on 10.3.1 though there is a little fix to do it. The bundle directory was moved from:
/usr/local/pcsc/drivers
to
/usr/libexec/SmartCardServices/drivers
If you move the cm2020.bundle from the first to the second I think you will see it working again ...
Best Regards, Dave

It has pcscd 1.1.2 installed but my CardMan 2020 driver (latest release) is
not loaded when the reader is plugged in.
If I install pcscd 1.1.1 it works until the computer is sent to sleep. After
waking up pcscd crashes:

Is anybody successfully working with pcscd and OS X 10.3.1?
