------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have a GemXpresso kit, service html documentation is available in your install.
You can find an example using this OCF service in OPPurse example (client part).
The client is OCF based for GemXpresso card access...

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Gxp211 and Gxp211is card are based on JC 2.1, OP 2.0.1, VOP 2.0.
The Gxp211PK and Gxp211PKis card are based on JC 2.1.1, OP 2.0.1, VOP 2.1.1.
Only Gxp211PK and Gxp211PKis are JC2.1.1.
X509 certificates are not recognized by this card family.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
KeyPair is specific to JC2.1.1 (no equivalent in JC2.1) and allows on-board asymetric
key pair generation.
KeyBuilder allows to create symetric and asymetric keys you have to fill manualy.
KeyPair takes benefits of secured hardware for internal generation and storage of
private
informations. You don't have to import private parts of the key from outside world.
The applet that requested the key pair can export the public part protecting the
secret...
