We have a requirement list for SmartCards that should be handed out to all Smartcard vendors.
Under Windows !
We need more specific windows based stuff. having debian/ubuntu is nice, and im glad we do, but that doesnt help the majority of us using windows
Well, ID Ally under Windows (2K/XP Pro) is nice with Firefox and Thunderbird with the Axalto Cyberflex 32K and 64K through PKCS11 support.
A very pleasant way to log in CAcert web site
Works fine with CAcert (also Thawte)... Take care... once generated on the token you cannot retrieve the private keys !
