ScMinidriver - Import Private Key to Smart Card

See more ScMinidriver Examples

Demonstrates how to import a private key to the "signature" or "key exchange" location in the Nth key container on a smart card. C++

#include <CkPrivateKey.h>

    // 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 before importing a private key.
    // Here's the view of our Gemalto (Thales) IDPrime MD T=0 smart card in the MGTEK tool:

    // First let's load a private key into the Chilkat private key object.

    // this example loads from a PEM file.)

    // If successful, the name of the currently inserted smart card is available:
    std::cout << "Card name: " << scmd.cardName() << "\r\n";

    // To import a private key, we'll need to be PIN authenticated.
