Re: Help with S/MIME on Microsoft Crypto API

 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

HMdB Did you import the e-mail certificate into the Bat!?

Nope. I want to use the certificate stored using MS Crypto API.
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 ;-)

It confuses me even more with it's S/MIME / security settings, iow: I
couldn't get it to work either. I didn't even see my MS Crypto API
stored certificates, not to talk about signing something with them ;-)

Hello Group

I have had an email telling me that version 3.51 is available. I am
running 3.5.26 and I'm confused about the numbering.

Is 3.51 later than 3.5.26 please?

Yes. The version numbering system was changed a little bit. Quoting
developer 9Val from the beta list:

.-
| 3.51.10
| 
| 3 = the major version number
| 51 = first cipher means feature list
|  second cipher encodes stability/bugfix list
| 10 = public build revision, used for minor fixes and beta versions
`-

...and besides that, 51 is of course larger than 5, isn't that obvious? :-D

Many of us are. There is a similar discussion occurring on the beta
list.

JG Is 3.51 later than 3.5.26 please?

Yes. Just don't ask me to explain. :)

I am finding it to be much more reliable and stable than 3.5.26.

Sorry to read that! It is not the Bat! but it works with PGP/GPG very
easy, almost intuitive ;-)
