var success = false;

// Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.77 or greater.

var cert = new CkCert();

// 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).
// See Load Certificate on Smartcard for information about explicitly selecting a particular CSP.
