PKI Smart Card Application (Windows and Mac OS)

i have to build an application that read a certificate stored in a smart card and then sign a string. As far as i've never done a thing like this before where should i start from? Which library should i use? Are there examples?

Thanks in advance for the answers :)

Solution

  • You did not specify language in which yoe have to implement the application. I would recommend PKCS11Interop. It is a c# library. Example of signing can be found here. It is well documented and actively developed. Even test are documented so it should be easy to understand even if you do not have much experience in the area.
