Re: [Muscle] how to import certificates

[Peter Williams]

Did you configure Mozilla to import the muscle crypto module?... so its GUI can drive the device through the PKCS#11 interface?   Remember, the xcard GUI talks msc's .so interface to the device. Then, recall that PKCS11 is a method wrapper around the msc module's API.   Rather than Mozilla talking to a visual control (e.g. viewing the xcard application as an embedded viewable GUI control), think of it talking to the underlying msc .so library within xcard (via the PKCS#11 API mapping.)   Remember: all the msc library does is bind C data structures and method  invocations used by programmer to the wire format used by the card signalling layer - that the javacard (or other COS) applet will later decodes, byte by byte, upon receipt, before invoking the signalled method, in a java context.   Then recall that the msc library comes in two parts: (a) the above (via a "plugin" for the wire format formatter - to use a term from java speak) (b) a protocol engine, that fragments large method argument into a series of primitive method invocations, and vice versa.   If you have the mozilla configuration setup, and have the mental model expressed above, you can understand that when mozilla drives creation of keys using an applet instance, and files a cert as an object, then actual application information data gets created and transferred.   -------   I believe there are some tools which can also intelligetly copy the certs in one framework's cert stores the objects in one of the applet instances on a card. But, this is like copying data from one file store to another - it doesnt create a working cryptocard, without the corresponding keys. Such a tool may be worth using once the applet instance is operational as a cryptomodule: the tool could populate the hierarchical certs, which may be used by some applications to configure the secure interworking of users in different key management domains.     ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 29, 2004 3:32 AM Subject: [Muscle] how to import certificates hello all, thanks fror all the guidance that i got from all u guys from this mailing list. now i am in a position to run few of my API's like that of encryption etc. but i need some help for importing the certificates on to my smart card. here are the details of the h/w n s/w tools i am using on my LINUX RedHat 9 system: 1)pcsclite_1.2.9-beta6 middleware 2)slb_rf72 as reader driver 3)schlumberger reflex 72v1 reader 4)cryptoflex 16k card 5)muscleframework1.1.5 6)Xcard 0.9.9 7)mozilla 1.2.1 now my reader and card are all working fine but i am not able to import the certificate in to my smart card.i think it is to be done through Xcard of mozilla browser but i am not able to get it. if possible ,can anyone plz suggest me ,how can i importh the certificates present in my directory on to the smart card. i will be very thsnkful if my certificates can be loaded in to the smart card. thanks vigya -------------------------------------------- Email in Indian languages.
