Thanks for these comments, very usefull, I have been informed that the
card I have is the openplatform JavaCard.
Can I, in that case, remove the opensc /openct stuff and just stick with
pcsc and MuscleCard??? or does Muscle card still require bits from
them??
I suppose you have a CYBERflex, not CRYPTOflex card. There is very good documentation for that card available at
http://www.cyberflex.com/Support/Documentation/CyberflexPG_4-5.pdf.
You won't be able to use OpenSC's software with that card. I guess Nelson mixed this up.
As previously mentioned ..... Get http://vrweb.de/~martin.buechler/smartcard/CFlexAccess32Loader.zip and http://home.vr-web.de/~martin.buechler/smartcard/loaderlibs.tgz and you should be able to load the MUSCLE applet on the card. Once that's done, you can use muscleTool and the MUSCLE pkcs11 framework to use the card.
Yes, you got it ;)
.........do I need to install the CFlexAccess32Loader.zip software onto a windows machine? and upload the applet before using the card with muscle tool (I was unable to extract the .zip files under Gentoo Linux so I am assuming that its windows based)
The loader is an OCF application, it's written in Java and runs basically on all platforms, that have a Java runtime environment installed. Still, there is a little platform dependency, because OCF also uses PC/SC to communicate with the card, except you would have a pure java driver for your reader. To unzip a zip file use the 'unzip' command, or just do 'jar xvf CFlexAccess32Loader.zip',if you already have a Java Development Kit installed, and then first have a look at the Readme file.
