I've just formatted my GemXPresso V3 card with cardedge applet installed using XCard II 0.9.9. Now I'm trying to generate keys with it. I think I can get through the process alright, but I'd like to understand what I'm doing better. For example, when I right-click on the KEYS item in the subtree under MuscleCard Applet, I get a dialog box that says "Generate Private Parameters." It has a few options that are easy to understand but I'm a little confused about the permissions. It has four options for each permission level. The permission levels are "Read," "Write" and "Usage." The four options that I can set each of them to are "Allowed," UnAllowed," "PIN #0," and "PIN #1." So I'm wondering: If this is a private key, why would I ever want it to be readable? I get the feeling that I'm not fully understanding what is going on here. I'm also confused about what the PIN #0 and PIN #1 options do. Could someone please enlighten me?
Here is some more information: I've tried creating keys with a number of different options and I get the following error every time:
Generate Failed
Code: Unauthorized usage
Apparently the only RSA key size that I could get to work with the Gem V3 card was 512bits. Can anyone explain this limitation to me? I assumed that since the cardedge applet is written in java and the card has plenty of memory, I would be able to create any key size I wanted.
