(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.

    // via List Readers or Find Smart Cards

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

    // 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.
