// 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.
// (Chilkat provides the ability to load private keys from many different sources and formats.
// this example loads from a PEM file.)
$privKey = new CkPrivateKey();
$success = $privKey->LoadPemFile('qa_data/rsa/rsaPrivKey_pkcs8.pem');
if ($success == false) {
    print $privKey->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

$scmd = new CkScMinidriver();

// 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';
$success = $scmd->AcquireContext($readerName);
if ($success == false) {
    print $scmd->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// If successful, the name of the currently inserted smart card is available:
print 'Card name: ' . $scmd->cardName() . "\n";

// To import a private key, we'll need to be PIN authenticated.
// For more details about smart card PIN authentication, see the Smart Card PIN Authentication Example
$pinId = 'user';
$retval = $scmd->PinAuthenticate($pinId,'0000');
if ($retval != 0) {
    print 'PIN Authentication failed.' . "\n";
    $scmd->DeleteContext();
    exit;
}

// Let's import into the "key exchange" position in key container #7.
$success = $scmd->ImportKey(7,'kex',$privKey,'user');
if ($success == false) {
    print 'PIN Authentication failed.' . "\n";
    $scmd->DeleteContext();
    exit;
}

$scmd->DeleteContext();

print 'Success.' . "\n";
