Hello
For our internal needs we wanted to use some token to store our private
keys. As we mostly work with OpenSource we want to stick with opensource
for that too.
In France, a reseller introduced me with some pre-sales at SafeNet
(seems like Aladdin is part of SafeNet now) that sent us some eToken Pro
samples. First the sample was the "locked" token loaded with aladdin
software in it, using that you are tied using closed source middleware.
I asked if there are any ways to get some blank eToken. The fact is you
can't buy blank Token, but Aladdin is able to produce some eToken loaded
with any custom applet. They sent me another sample with a known ISD key
so I can erase it and load the applet.
I tested the applet compiled by Joao from here, in IJC format with all
the instructions :
http://www.opensc-project.org/pipermail/opensc-user/2009-June/003147.html
Which works well, under Linux and windows with opensc for Windows.
To get this into "production", Aladdin needs a CAP file. Next step for
me is to compile my own applet to get this CAP file.
Joao said the applet is patched to use the RAM instead of the EEPROM for
some computations, are these patches included in mainstream now ?
Any of you can point me to a guide ? The README file is a bit light on
this, which version of Java should I (not) use ? Do I need to download
latest version for each build tool or those provided with my Linux
distro is good ?
Which MuscleCard applet should I use ?
- The applet found from the linuxnet.com site is quite old, from 2002.
- The package from here : http://muscleplugins.alioth.debian.org/ is
younger but still 2003.
- The SVN : http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/muscleplugins seems more up to
date, las commit in december 2009
In general, any advices are welcome.
Thanks all for the work, MuscleCard and OpenSC works pretty well together.
Jon.
