Hello

I hope im posting this in the correct section.

I am attempting to use a smart card for authentication for an encrypted container. I am Very new to this and attempting to teach myself how to use this feature of VeraCrypt.

I am wanting to apply a keyfile to a smart card and use it instead of an external key on a usb or network share.

I am using an Advanced Card Systems ACR122U-A9 reader and the included Mifare Classic 1K Cards to achieve this. Are these products incompatible with VeraCrypt?

Are there any resources i can use to learn how to properly apply the key to the card?

Thanks!
Elisha

it depends of your card. VeraCrypt is PKCS11 lib compatible.It is possible to check vendor PCS11 lib or try opensc.
