This is the card from the Post. You must have a software which support
these cards. Has the Post software for it? As far as I know not. Ask the
Post if the card supports the DIN 66291-1 standard. If yes gnupg support
this card with gpgsm. If not you will have no develop your own software
to access this card. TCOS is only the operating system, it does not say
anything about the signature application. How have you read the
certificates?
