Yes, you must use the Muscle PKCS#11 module on Windows in order to
use the Muscle PKCS#11 module on LInux.
You can use ID Ally for Windows - http://www.identityalliance.com.
It makes use of the Muscle PKCS#11 and provides a CSP which you
can use similarly to the Schlumberger middleware. If you have to use
the Schlumberger (now Axalto) middleware, I think at one time
they had a Linux version ....

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?
