(Unicode C++) ScMinidriver - Get Public Keys from Smart Card Key Container

See more ScMinidriver Examples

Demonstrates how to query a key container on a smart card (or USB token) to get the public part of the private keys that are present. A key container can hold two separate private keys -- one in the "signature" position, and the other in the "key exchange" position.

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // 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..
    // Here's the view of our Gemalto (Thales) IDPrime MD T=0 smart card in the MGTEK tool:

    

    CkScMinidriverW scmd;

    // 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
    const wchar_t *readerName = L"Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader 0";
    bool success = scmd.AcquireContext(readerName);
    if (success == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",scmd.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    // If successful, the name of the currently inserted smart card is available:
    wprintf(L"Card name: %s\n",scmd.cardName());

    // We likely shouldn't need to authenticate with the smart card (use a PIN) to simply get a public key,
    // so we can skip the PIN authenticatin step..

    // Let's get the key(s) present in Container #7.
    // In our case (shown in the image above), there is a private key in the "key exchange" position, but no key in the "signature" position.
    CkPublicKeyW pubkey_sig;
    CkPublicKeyW pubkey_kex;

    success = scmd.GetContainerKeys(7,pubkey_sig,pubkey_kex);
    if (success == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",scmd.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    if (pubkey_sig.get_Empty() == true) {
        wprintf(L"No signature key is present.\n");
    }
    else {
        wprintf(L"Signature key:\n");
        wprintf(L"%s\n",pubkey_sig.getPem(true));
    }

    if (pubkey_kex.get_Empty() == true) {
        wprintf(L"No Key Exchange key is present.\n");
    }
    else {
        wprintf(L"Key Exchange key:\n");
        wprintf(L"%s\n",pubkey_kex.getPem(true));
    }

    scmd.DeleteContext();

    wprintf(L"Success.\n");

    // Here's the output of the above sample code:
