Some time ago we implemented system where smartcard signed continously. In
order to have some understanding how reliable this might be, I did a test.
Same here.
Wanting to test the reliability of Estonian eID and the "eeprom write
operations limit" thing from Wikipedia (as the card has a usage
counter) a similar script was tested against it. It ran for maybe a
month and half and was not restarted after a machine restart, and I
also changed during the test cycle warm reset of the card to a powerup
reset before every operation and the counter was around 2.something
million signatures and card working properly last time I checked.
Do you mean that you re-powered the card and re-established the session
for each signature?
That would slow down the procedure by a factor of (more or less) 3, am I
correct?
What I do is just connect, login (C_Login) than start signing (OpenSSL
signs using the RSA op provided by engine_pkcs11 that wraps the PKCS11
module)...
The test should be countinued, as the counter is "only" 3 bytes long ... ;(
