OpenSC Release 0.9.4
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
We are pleased to announce the availability of OpenSC 0.9.4.
|
|
|
|
OpenSC provides a set of libraries and utilities to access smart
|
|
cards. Its main focus is on cards that support cryptographic operations,
|
|
and facilitate their use in security applications such as mail encryption,
|
|
authentication, and digital signature.
|
|
|
|
OpenSC can be used with the following applications and libraries:
|
|
|
|
- Netscape Communicator and Mozilla (through its PKCS#11 module),
|
|
for secure email (S/MIME) and SSL authentication
|
|
- OpenSSH, for user authentication
|
|
- FreeSWAN, StrongSWAN and OpenSWAN,
|
|
for authentication and key management
|
|
- OpenSSL, for key and certificate storage, key generation and
|
|
signing of certificate requests
|
|
- GNUpg 1.9 (experimental), for key storage
|
|
- Smart card login, through a PAM module
|
|
- Using the included utilities, to perform RSA decryption and
|
|
digital signing
|
|
|
|
OpenSC is capable of personalizing various types of smart cards, but
|
|
also works with personalized cards such as the Finnish FINEID.
|
|
|
|
OpenSC can currently be used on Linux, Windows and MacOS X. It supports
|
|
PC/SC, CT-API and OpenCT to talk to card terminals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Supported Hardware

|
==================
|
|
|
|
The following card operating systems are supported at the moment (where
|
|

|
provide personalization support for these).
