I've pinged other people from other projects and it seems like a tolerable idea. As most security related software these days deals with crypto to some extent, so a "Security/ hardware crypto keys" theme would span more than just various crypto/pkcs11 oriented projects. For overall improvement, random application developers should be aware of the choices and possibilities in the field. Any piece of software in Linux (and elsewhere) that deals with http fetching (many do) should be able to authenticate SSL with a smart card for example.

Integration and interoperability / compatibility. Anything that could be fixed on this front is good. >> Fedora crypto consolidation and NSS shared DB > > This definately falls under discussion for me.

A Fedora user told me that the effort is pretty outdated and in hibernation, but the goal is still valid. -- @MartinPaljak.net +3725156495 _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
