Cards are really slow, so generally encryption is done by the PC using symmetric encryption (e.g. AES) and the card is then used to asymmetrically encrypt the AES key. Decryption is the reverse; card is used to decrypt the AES key, then the PC decrypts the data. It's a performance vs. security tradeoff, so if you have high security requirements alternatively low data volume, you can also use the card for all data without much negative impact. //Peter _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
