I realize that there are many different components and layers to the M.U.S.C.L.E project, but I am trying to figure out what the main chunk is all about. From what I can tell, libmusclecard.so is the core element and operates at the same level as libopensc from the OpenSC project which implements a PKCS#15 certificate store. MuscleCard, on the other hand does not use PKCS#15, but it's own incompatible formt. libmusclecard.so can, in theory, talk to any Java Card in any reader visible through the PC/SC API/daemon that has the MuscleCard Java applet installed. libmusclecard.so and the MuscleCard Applet speak to each other through a custom protocol that looks to be similar to ISO-7816-4, but I am not sure if it is compatible. The info page on linuxnet.com claims support for ISO-7816-4 so can MuscleCard be used with non-java cards that support ISO-7816-4? I was hoping to test out Muscle with my Aladdin eToken PRO 64k which uses CardOS 4.2B and implements ISO-8716-4. I am using Aladdin's PKI Client 5.0.0 and Aladdin's PC/SC driver. The card is currently formatted with Aladdin's propietary key store as well as PKCS#15 with OpenSC. Can I also use MuscleCard along side this? -- Loren M.
