Hello

Taking advantage of this discussion, I'd like to know what interfaces
OpenSSL library provides
to access certificate/key-pair stored in smart cards, for example to
generate digital signatures.

Is it possible to use Microsoft CAPI/CSP aproach and its certificate stores?
If not, what can be used considering a client with Windows and IE browser?

Thanks a lot.
Lucimara

What do you actually want to do?

Do you want to use the private key on the smart card as your CAs private
key?

Alternatively do you want to use your CA to create a certificate for the
smart
card? In that case you might want to install the PKCS#11 module in Mozilla
and use it to install the certificate.
