Hi Aron,
not sure whether its worthwhile to mention: I know of a large trustcenter offering certificates for qualified signatures, that uses hundreds of serial port smartcard readers connected to a single system using RS232 multiplexers. But I dont know which software they use. However, do you really need to use a large a mount of devices connected in parallel, or wouldn't just a single HSM do, in a kind of RSS configuration? It's just saving tons of space and effort, but still offering high security with thousands of "virtual smartcards" where each slot has its own unique user PIN and SO. regards Andreas ----- Original Message ----- From: "Szabó Áron" <aron.sz...@egroup.hu> To: opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org Sent: Wednesday, 21 March, 2012 4:15:04 PM Subject: Re: [opensc-devel] Managing devices simultaneously Thanks for your answers! In my case 1 smart card, USB token would use/store just 1 slot/1 keypair: 1 keypair is needed for each user stored on separate devices. This means, I have to maximize the number of devices, not the slots of the devices. USB controller gives an upper limitation for that, but I don't know whether CSPs have other e.g. addressing limitations.

IIUC, each "PIN" uses a slot. So, for example, on a single Aventra card you could need 14 slots!
