Hi, I have planned to write some code to implement an ENGINE allowing OpenSSL to use the MUSCLEcard framework so as to use SmartCards just as the other HW tokens (it could be useful in our project to use the CA keys on a Smart Card rather then on the HardDrive and having to protect a whole computer instead of a little piece of plastic ).
I am planning to code it for the openssl-0.9.7-beta3 ( is it better working
on latest openssl-0.9.7-stable SNAPs ? ).
This work will allow, that's our goal, to use the openssl together with
any MUSCLE's supported SC and reader. Also it will be possible to use their
pkcs11 module already shipping with their project.
We plan to use this to support CA's keys directly on SC with crypto
features ( such as cryptoFlex, CyberFlex, etc... ).
Let me know if some work has been already made by someone and if we can
cooperate in this work.
Also I'd like to know if it will be best to code this ENGINE as a dynamic
one (external to the OpenSSL source tree) or it is best we start coding
it directly into OpenSSL ?
