Hi Alan,
if I understand you correctly, PKCS#11 is used for personalisation of your
smart cards. So your cards have a file system with e.g. X.509-certificates,
some keys for signing, encryption,... and possibly a key generation
feature.
OCF provides CardService interfaces for most of these features, so the way
to go is:
1) Implement the interfaces needed.
2) Write a CardServiceFactory.
You need to know the APDU values for your card.
IMHO the answer is YES. Please note that you'll need to implement more
than the SignatureCardService in order to support the full functionality
of your smart card.
Regards,
� �Daniel

| | | [OCF] Talking to |
| | | PKCS#11 cards with |
| | | OCF |
|------------------------+------------------------+------------------------|
Dear All,
Yet another plea for help from another newcomer !
Recently I have been investigating OpenCard and the OCF for my company.
After presenting my initial report I was asked the following question:
A third party (Company X) issues cryptographic smart cards using its own
issuing s/w and this s/w uses a PKCS#11 API to write to these cards. Then
we
(Company Y) produce an application that communicates to smart cards using
the OCF. Can we use OCF's SignatureCardService to access the cryptographic
functions of the cards issued by Compnay X?
This is a simple but fundamental question that has been put to me and I
have
not seen a clear YES or NO answer yet. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
