G'day,
Up to now I've been using Linux to store a key and a certificate on a
smart card, and using middleware such as pcsc-lite and the muscle
PKCS#11 library to access the authentication data on the card, for use
in my Linux-based application.
Now I'm wondering how a key and certificate are generally installed onto
a smartcard, and whether the typical use case for this is compatible
with muscle PKCS#11 library. For example, I think that Windows CA can
install a certificate on the card via a cryptographic service provider,
and the Schlumberger middleware allows a card to be personalized such
that it is "PKCS#11 enabled".
So can I use the muscle PKCS#11 library to access a certificate that has
been loaded onto the card via a typical Windows process? Or does the
muscle PKCS#11 library only allow access to PKCS#11 objects that have
been stored on the card using the muscle PKCS#11 library?
