Note: Requires Chilkat v10.1.2 or later.

PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

$certStore = New-Object Chilkat.CertStore

# Detects connected smart cards and USB tokens
# and loads the certificate store object with the certificates found.
# Works on Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Linux.
# Note: If something is not detected, contact info@chilkatsoft.com
# for help or for workarounds.
$argNotUsed = ""
$success = $certStore.OpenSmartcard($argNotUsed)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($certStore.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$cert = New-Object Chilkat.Cert

$numCerts = $certStore.NumCertificates
$i = 0

while ($i -lt $numCerts) {
    # Load the cert object with the Nth certificate found in the connected HSMs
    $certStore.GetCert($i,$cert)
    $([string]$i + ": " + $cert.SubjectCN)
    $i = $i + 1
