Importing into TB! and using internal S/MIME implementation is not what I want. HMdB Does it have to be Microsoft CryptoApi? Not internal implementation? It does, because the certificate is linked to a chip card. Where normal certificates are password protected this one is PIN protected. Wherever else I use it (e.g. Online Banking) I have to enter my card-PIN using the card reader (therefore the PIN never goes to the computer and the certificate can't be misused because no password can be cracked/guessed/hacked/whatever). This PIN-confirmation is activated by MS Crypto methods, whenever one of the other programs tries to use the certificate the chip card driver (plus a service plus component X) interrupts and asks me to insert the chip card and then enter the PIN (instead of the usual password dialog). Seems I don't get only TB! to behave this way, it's just I don't want to use Outlook or Outlook Express for sending mails signed with this certificate ;-) -- Regards Peter Palmreuther (The Bat! v3.51.10 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2) Condition red: spent casing dropping to the ground...

Help with S/MIME on Microsoft Crypto API
Hello List, seems it's time I need a little help. I own a class three card reader (ReinerSCT) and an appropriate chip card. This card includes, among others, an e-mail certificate, which can be used to S/MIME sign e-mail-messages. As I intended to finally use it I changed S/MIME configuration to use Microsoft Crypto API. Sadly I wasn't able to sign any e-mail, most probably because I choose the wrong settings. All I get (after selecting the appropriate key when I'm asked) is ,- | Cannot sign the message | | Der registrierte Schlüsselsatz ist nicht definiert `- The German part says The registered key pair is not defined. What should I do (not with the drunken sailor *g*), what *can* I do to make it work? I think I remember I had it working, aeons ago and with something that still might have been a 1.x release, but might have been an early 2.x release as well. But I might be wrong. So is anybody using TB!3 with S/MIME on MS crypto API, driven by a chip card? And if so: what's the way to go? Thanks a lot in advance, -- best regards Peter Palmreuther (The Bat! v3.51.9 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2) I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
