    // This newer example is a much better way to get the certificate on a smartcard or USB token

    // This example requires that we already know the name of the CSP (Cryptographic Service Provider) for the smartcard.
    // It is often the "Microsoft Base Smart Card Crypto Provider".  You can see what CSP's are registered on your system with this code:

    CkCsp csp = new CkCsp();
    CkStringTable st = new CkStringTable();

    boolean success = csp.GetProviders(st);
    if (success == false) {

        return;
        }

    // Iterate over the CSP names..
    int i = 0;
    int numProviders = st.get_Count();
    while (i < numProviders) {
        System.out.println(i + ": " + st.stringAt(i));
        i = i+1;
        }

    // --------------------------
    // This newer example is a much better way to get the certificate on a smartcard or USB token

    // We'll assume our smartcard is accessed through the "Microsoft Base Smart Card Crypto Provider"
    // Also, we'll assume that the certificate has been installed into the default current user Windows
    // certificate store by following the instructions provided by the smartcard vendor.
    // (The certificate does not contain the private key.  The certificate should be installed in the
    // Windows current user certificate store.  It will also be on the smartcard, and the associated private
    // key is only on the smartcard.)
    // 

    // First open the Current User Certificate Store.  We'll need it soon..
    CkCertStore certStore = new CkCertStore();
    success = certStore.OpenCurrentUserStore(true);
    if (success == false) {
        System.out.println(certStore.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    // Create a Csp object and set the ProviderName equal to our desired CSP name.
    // (setting the ProviderName selects the desired CSP.)
    csp.put_ProviderName("Microsoft Base Smart Card Crypto Provider");

    // Iterate over the key containers managed by this CSP.
    // These will be the key containers for the cards currently inserted into the reader(s).
    // If only one smartcard reader exists, and a smartcard is inserted, there should be one
    // key container.
    int numContainers = csp.get_NumKeyContainers();

    System.out.println("numContainers = " + numContainers);

    i = 0;
    while (i < numContainers) {
        // For each key container, get the key container name and then find the certificate
        // in the Current User Certicate Store with the matching key container name.
        String keyContainerName = csp.nthKeyContainerName(i);

        CkCert cert = certStore.FindCertByKeyContainer(keyContainerName);
        if (certStore.get_LastMethodSuccess() == true) {
            System.out.println("Certificate in reader: " + cert.subjectCN());

            }

        i = i+1;
        }
