PKCS#11 Tokend module?
by Cristian Thiago Moecke 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Hello all! My name is Cristian, and I'm a Brazilian graduate student, researching PKI themes. I've just bought me a Macbook Pro, and I was looking for a way to make my epass2k token work on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). But "PRONOVA" don't provide a tokend module. They provide a PKCS#11 module only for Mac. So I can use firefox and thunderbird, but not safari, chrome, java, mail and everithing else I would like to use with it. I must say I've got a bit disappointed on the lack of support for PKCS#11 on Mac OS X Keychain. I've read that Apple don't want it because of the need to point to dynlibs... I can understand, but I would be happy even if the option was available by editing some config file or running terminal commands. But ok, stop complaining, I'm on mac for 3 weeks now and this is my first and only complaint until now, that is good. Since I'm a programmer, since I've come from the Linux world and since I've got some friends here that also are programmers, also use mac, also would like to use PKCS#11 modules on theis Mac Keychain, and also would enjoy giving a solution for this, I'm interested on try to develop a Tokend module that works as an interface to user provided PKCS#11 dynlibs. I would like to know: - if you have heard about someone already trying/doing this (I've found this slides: http://middleware.internet2.edu/pki06/proceedings/dinapoli-pkcs11-mac.pdf, from 2006... I'm trying to contact the author. But found nothing else). - if there is already a documentation to people like me, that want to develop his first Tokend module. On the website I've found only user documentation, not developer documentation. Regards, -- Cristian Thiago Moecke contato(a)cristiantm.com.br

Hello, I’ve been linking to http://smartcardservices.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/installers for quite some time now from MilitaryCAC.com I have been reading the same message all this time that Oberthur ID One 128 v5.5 Duals are currently not yet supported. Is there an estimated time when this may happen? I’m getting more and more Mac users getting the new CACs. Thanks for visiting MilitaryCAC.com!! CW3 Michael J.
