In a sense, it does mot matter. All you do with a certificate is:
1. Put it in a card (C_CreateObject(....))
2. Read it from the card (C_GetAttribute( ... CKA_VALUE)) and send it to
whoever might be interested in it.
There are no cryptograpic services performed on the card using the
certificate. For that you have the private and public key stored separately.
As long you have a valid certificate and you are able to store it on the
card and read the same data later, you have no worries.
