I have one more alternative – I have written a smart card minidriver for the Base CSP architecture. It's beta-ish, but it correctly handles IE connections; I haven't tested Outlook et al. yet, but they should be fine. The big advantage is that it is short (less than 2000 lines before clean-up) and it does not need signing by Microsoft. The disadvantages are that (1) it only runs on Windows XP+ (Vista included) and (2) it requires a hack in reader-pcsc.c. In detail, Windows connects to the card first, and then passes a PC/SC context and handle to the minidriver. Therefore, I had to modify reader-pcsc.c to read pointers to them from the environment. It is not beautiful, but there should not be any security implications since this behaviour can be turned on or off from the main OpenSC configuration file. If it sounds "good enough" an idea, I'm going to push myself to clean it up and release it a little earlier :) Regards, -- Emanuele _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
