I am able to read other smart cards, just not the Gemalto card.  When connecting the Gemalto card I see APDU logs attempting to read data from the card however I’m getting a generic file not found error message.  I believe the issue is that the smart card itself is not in PKCS11 format.  It was initialized on a windows computer running Verasec k2 tool (http://versatilesecurity.com/versatilesecurity-vsec-cms-k.php).  I have confirmed that the card cannot be read by other systems (linux) that are working correctly with other pkcs11 cards.  What I don’t know how to do is initialize the card and upload certificates so that it conforms to pkcs11.  Is there a way to do this from the Mac?  I know how to request the certificates from the PKI on the Mac, just don’t know how to get the key pair onto the smart card.  Any help you can offer would be appreciated.  

Does Apple have some format-emulation the way OpenSC-Project does?
