[Opensc-devel] Elliptic Curve support and suggested cards?

[Daniel P. <da...@po...>]

Hi,

Can anybody comment on the Elliptic Curve support in OpenSC and which
cards are suggested?

I found this ticket about ECDSA with PIV card support but it is not
clear if this is also supported for other cards now:

https://www.opensc-project.org/opensc/ticket/295

Is the PIV card concept only relevant to those in organisations that use
PIV cards, or can these cards be useful for any arbitrary project?

I found that some of the Athena cards offer ECC support, I understand
these are on the OpenSC supported list, but it's not clear if the ECC
support is in all variations of the card:
