    // 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:

    csp = CkCspW_Create();
    st = CkStringTableW_Create();

    success = CkCspW_GetProviders(csp,st);
    if (success == FALSE) {

        CkCspW_Dispose(csp);
        CkStringTableW_Dispose(st);
        return;
    }

    // Iterate over the CSP names..
    i = 0;
    numProviders = CkStringTableW_getCount(st);
    while (i < numProviders) {
        wprintf(L"%d: %s\n",i,CkStringTableW_stringAt(st,i));

    // --------------------------
    // 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..
    certStore = CkCertStoreW_Create();
    success = CkCertStoreW_OpenCurrentUserStore(certStore,TRUE);
    if (success == FALSE) {

        CkCspW_Dispose(csp);
        CkStringTableW_Dispose(st);
        CkCertStoreW_Dispose(certStore);
        return;
    }

    // Create a Csp object and set the ProviderName equal to our desired CSP name.
    // (setting the ProviderName selects the desired CSP.)
    CkCspW_putProviderName(csp,L"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.

        // 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.
        keyContainerName = CkCspW_nthKeyContainerName(csp,i);

        cert = CkCertStoreW_FindCertByKeyContainer(certStore,keyContainerName);
        if (CkCertStoreW_getLastMethodSuccess(certStore) == TRUE) {
            wprintf(L"Certificate in reader: %s\n",CkCertW_subjectCN(cert));
