Hello,
as far as i know, it is not possible to support the ECDSA algorithm in OpenSC -
at least it was not a while ago when i made a basic implementation of the
Austrian "Bürgerkarte" based on ACOS.
Apart from that, integration might be easy since the e-Card has a PKCS#15
structure on it; maybe it would be enough to play around with the configuration.
First question to be answered still is whether OpenSC is capable of supporting
a smartcard using only ECDSA ... maybe someone here can easily answer that
question :-)
Btw, the make and version of the operating system alone does not tell very much
about a specific card; what you need in the first place is the specification of
the card's file structure. Changing the ATR in OpenSC to apply code that is
meant for another card to the e-Card won't get you anywhere. AFAIK the file
structure of the e-Card has not been made public.
