Does anyone know if Smart Cards can support an Elyptical Curve Cryptosystem?
, this may solve your problem with having to generate a 2048 but key.

Hi
I have to use 2048bit key pair.
Is there any smartcard which supports 2048 bit key pairs ?
Also is there any method to extract private key from the card
just after generating the key pair.
Thanks in advance,
Bye for now

Hi Ram,
You cannot generate 2048 bit key pair in the smart card environment.
(according to my knowledge). GPK8000 supports 512,768 and 1024
keyLength. If you give more than that, it will throw InvalidKeyException.
May be you can generate 2048 bit key pair using Cert C (Out side smart card
environment). Try that.
You cannot extract the private key from the smart card. only Public portion
is addressable.
