Validates a smartcard PIN. This example only runs on Windows and requires Chilkat v9.5.0.77 or greater. C

    // Load the certificate on the smartcard currently in the reader (or on the USB token).
    // Pass an empty string to allow Chilkat to automatically choose the CSP (Cryptographi Service Provider).
