You do not have to use Windows to load the MuscleCard applet - it can be done on whatever platform has a
Global Platform library. We wrote some clients for the Mac and Linux as well ....

Hi,_______________________________________________
I posted this message below a bit over a week ago and now have the
timeline ironed out. Anyone who wishes to
test a pre-release of the below packages send me an email at:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and put in the subject: REQUEST MUSCLE
BETA.
Everything works like it should now and comes in a nice MSI installer
but it would be nice to iron out any usability issues with some beta
testers. We will make the web release on July 21st. Anything before
that, just send an email and I'll send you a copy .....
When you get the package you will first have to use the applet manager
to load the musclecard applet, then you can begin using your java card.
For certificates, I usually use Thawte or Verisign, but I will be
standing up a Windows 2003 CA on the IdentityAlliance server for people
to get free certs in the future .....
Thanks,
Dave
Over the next few weeks we will be releasing some new packages for
Windows
2000/XP that include support for the latest MuscleCard framework. Here
are some of the capabilities that you can expect:
- Applet management client for MuscleCard applet
- ability to load, delete, isntantiate and manage keys on
Schlumberger 64k, Gemplus 64k, and IBM JCOP Java Cards using GP
this will be done over a remote SSL connection and will be available
via a connection to a remote server
- CSP/CAPI support to register for certificates using many CA's
- Outlook signing/decryption support
- Windows login
- IE authentication
- PKCS#11 support for Mozilla
In essence, one will be able to take an off the shelf card (mentioned
above) - load the MuscleCard applet and use it to register for
certificates using IE or Mozilla and then use them for login, email, web
authentication, and other applications.
Once configured, this card can be used with the MuscleCard framework
then
on Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, and others by building the framework
provided
in the pcsc-lite-1.2.0 source tree and other modules on alioth.
We will provide the ability to use this for personal use by default
(non-distribution) and then a registration model for using this in a
corporate or for profit manner.
Feel free to post any questions on this to:

Thanks,
Dave
