Hi everyone,
I have a situation where it would be convenient to have a card reader
connected to one machine, and the application using it running on another
machine.
It occurred to me that if libpcsclite were to use a TCP socket rather than a
UNIX socket to connect to pcscd, this would be easy to accomplish.
What are the security implications to doing this?
How would the stream be protected? ssh?
Windows Remote Desktop can forward the smart card under the
"Local Resources","Local devices and resources"->"more". I don't know
if this is part of the protocol.
There is an Open source version of RDC, rdesktop, but I don't know if it
does smart cards.
Has anyone tried this?
Is the over-the-socket protocol platform-dependent? Would there be any issues
with using a different platform on each end (OS/CPU)?
I'm going to give it a try in the morning, but I thought it might be worth
seeing if anyone in the community has any thoughts/warnings.
Thanks,
Shawn.
