(AutoIt) ScMinidriver - Get Public Keys from Smart Card Key Container

See more ScMinidriver Examples

Demonstrates how to query a key container on a smart card (or USB token) to get the public part of the private keys that are present. A key container can hold two separate private keys -- one in the "signature" position, and the other in the "key exchange" position.

; This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

; Chilkat recommends the following free tool for interactively examining the contents of your smart card
; through the ScMinidriver interface:  MGTEK Tool for Minidriver enabled Smart Cards

; Let's first look at our smart card..
; Here's the view of our Gemalto (Thales) IDPrime MD T=0 smart card in the MGTEK tool:



$oScmd = ObjCreate("Chilkat.ScMinidriver")

; First we need to acquire a context to the smart card in the reader where it is inserted.
; Reader names (smart card readers or USB tokens) can be discovered
; via List Readers or Find Smart Cards
Local $sReaderName = "Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader 0"
Local $bSuccess = $oScmd.AcquireContext($sReaderName)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oScmd.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; If successful, the name of the currently inserted smart card is available:
ConsoleWrite("Card name: " & $oScmd.CardName & @CRLF)

; We likely shouldn't need to authenticate with the smart card (use a PIN) to simply get a public key,
; so we can skip the PIN authenticatin step..

; Let's get the key(s) present in Container #7.
; In our case (shown in the image above), there is a private key in the "key exchange" position, but no key in the "signature" position.
$oPubkey_sig = ObjCreate("Chilkat.PublicKey")
$oPubkey_kex = ObjCreate("Chilkat.PublicKey")

$bSuccess = $oScmd.GetContainerKeys(7,$oPubkey_sig,$oPubkey_kex)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oScmd.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

If ($oPubkey_sig.Empty = True) Then
    ConsoleWrite("No signature key is present." & @CRLF)
Else
    ConsoleWrite("Signature key:" & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite($oPubkey_sig.GetPem(True) & @CRLF)
EndIf

If ($oPubkey_kex.Empty = True) Then
    ConsoleWrite("No Key Exchange key is present." & @CRLF)
Else
    ConsoleWrite("Key Exchange key:" & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite($oPubkey_kex.GetPem(True) & @CRLF)
EndIf

$oScmd.DeleteContext()

ConsoleWrite("Success." & @CRLF)

; Here's the output of the above sample code:

; Card name: IDPrime MD T=0
; No signature key is present.
; Key Exchange key:
