Hello all, I'm new to smartcard technology and am trying to understand some of the tools provided on the muscle website (linuxnet.com). In the muscle framework there is a project called PKCS11. From what I've been able to discover reading the beginning of RSA Security's PKCS11 documentation, it is a generic API used by applications that wish to interface with cryptographic devices like smart cards and other such stuff. However, when I examine the README in the PKCS11 project it says that the tested platforms are Mozilla and Netscape, making it seem like the project is specifically intended for use in web browsers. Is this just because those are the only platforms tested or because the project and/or API is narrower in scope than I originally thought?
Basically, what I'm trying to figure out is at what level my code should interface with my smart card reader. Should I be calling the PC/SC lite library directly or is there a better layer of abstraction to use that will allow my application to be compatible with a wider range of readers and to be more standards-compliant?
Thanks in advance for your time and effort in responding.
Regards,
Carl Youngblood
