Hi,
We would like to have answers to the following questions;
1. How would it be possible to sign a piece of data using a smart card. =
Todays JDK implementation requires the application/applet to have direct =
access to public and secret keys. This is not possible using a smart =
card since the secret keys can not be extracted from the card.
2. When will it be possible to download the Java Smart Card API? That is =
the implementation and NOT the specification.
