Subject: Question on support for smartcards
Hi,
Do you have or plan to have a Java 2 security provider implementation
which uses a smartcard's crypto functions? How would one currently
provide smartcard support to an application using the Java 2 security
framework? In particular, would one have to generate ISO 7816 messages
manually and pass them through the javax.smartcard interface? Do you
plan to add support for javax.smartcard to the SUN or SunJCE providers?
If not, do you know of any organizations or companies that have or are
developing a Java 2 compliant security provider that uses a smartcard as
its keystore and crypto engine?
Thanks,
Cliff
