Thanks Karsten, The thing is, I am not too much familiar with MUSCLE, we were using opensc in a project to test smartcard enabled PKI applications so we need to hold the certificates with the keypair on the card. Also, we were using javacard based cards because of future needs of building javacard applications on it. Before the test we have bought a number of JCOP21id cards but they are not fully supported because of secure messaging requirement.
So I just wanted to know if maybe this is supported in Muscle to help me implement it in opensc or maybe to make me go to Muscle. What are the main differences between the Muscle and opensc? I have heard Muscle has some limitations regarding my "cryptograhic needs"? Sorry to bother you... thanks very much regards dejan gambin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Karsten Ohme Sent: Monday, August 22, 2005 11:14 PM To: MUSCLE Subject: Re: [Muscle] JCOP21id with secure messaging support Gambin Dejan wrote: > Hi, > > would like to know if JCOP21id is fully supported by Muscle regarding > the secure messaging/channel requirement?

What means need? Is the integrity and confidentiality really important? Is the card user the same like the card issuer (Else this does not work, because the user has access to the secret keys of the card issuer and can install untrusted applications. Aside from this, this means that the user has to enter every time these secret keys or at least a pass phrase for the encryption of the keys (if these keys are stored encrypt on a media) (storing this keys in plain text would violate any idea of this system.) at each computer system. At the keyboard. In an untrusted environment the system knows the keys and the whole secure channel system is broken ...) If you are adept with this technology then you certainly know all the above things and an adaption of MuscleCard is possible.
