hi
 
(this is about openca 0.9.0 RC4)
 
As i am trying to plug OpenCA with a smart card flash, i was wondering if it was possible
to generate the private key on the RA.
 
for exemple when we do a token request
in the RA certificate request approbation, we can generate the key but it can only be done with IE or Netscape depending on your browser wich is client dependent and then stored on the client side (in this case the RA Operator PC).
I need to keep the private key server sided
is there any way to make the RA generate those keys so that i can send them directly to the smart card.
 
To let you know about the privacy focus, i am using a HSM under OpenSSL so the key generation process will in any case be hidden to the Operator.
 
if any of you as any idea?
(hope i am clear enough, i am french and it is not so easy to explain all this technicall stuff in english.
i have started to translate OpenCA IHM but it's taking a long time)
 
 
thanks a lot
