Re: [Opensc-devel] smart card management

[<J.W...@mi...>]

Hi, Sorry for being too brief...

Yes, pkcs only.

For small-scale (development) environment, I think one often needs tools for:
- changing the card status (if you buy Siemens card at cryptoshop, they are by default still in manufacturing-state).
- initialization of cards (applet)
- personification of cards (connection with CA's like ejbCA, and connection towards company LDAP)
Last couple of years I came across completely empty (java) cards, and cards with only the safe-sign-applet.
I can ask people to buy a couple of hundred cards at MYeid,cryptoshop or gooze, but if there isn't a proper way to maintain them, it's a lost cause....

Can you, please, be more specific?

What software are you talking about?
A PKCS#11 library only?
More (or less) than that?
