These cards typically support the EMV protocol (or a subset). They have the ability to perform RSA and 3DES, so in theory there could be a vendor (or manufacturer) that releases a PKCS #11 module that allows you to access them. However, without it the operations available to an EMV card are not sufficient to "emulate" PKCS #11 (and be used in other than banking applications). regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
