(C) 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.

    // 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

    // 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
    readerName = "Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader 0";

        return;
    }

    // If successful, the name of the currently inserted smart card is available:
    printf("Card name: %s\n",CkScMinidriver_cardName(scmd));

    // 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.
