No proprietary strings attached as usual in the smartcard business. So go write an application according to the specs and it will, run with any card compliant with the spec. Any vendor may implement this spec on his card. Whether you do this on a slow 4 Euro chip or a fast 8 Euro chip or on an iButton is up to you. Our card is just one implementation of the spec using an expensive chip. Werner - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending unsubscribe cryptography to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It doesn't have to be fast, but to support loading/copying of secrets in physically secure environments, and not generate nonextractable secret onboard. Environment is OpenBSD/Linux/OpenSSL/gpg. Since your environment includes GPG, then I think the OpenPGP smartcard meets pretty well what you are requesting. Combine it it with a USB smartcard reader, and the card becomes USB, too ;) http://www.silicon-trust.com/pdf/secure_8/48_ppc.pdf http://www.g10code.de/p-card.html David - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending unsubscribe cryptography to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
