(VB.NET UWP/WinRT) 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:



Dim scmd As New Chilkat.ScMinidriver

' 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
Dim readerName As String = "Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader 0"
Dim success As Boolean = scmd.AcquireContext(readerName)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(scmd.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' If successful, the name of the currently inserted smart card is available:
Debug.WriteLine("Card name: " & 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.
Dim pubkey_sig As New Chilkat.PublicKey
Dim pubkey_kex As New Chilkat.PublicKey

success = scmd.GetContainerKeys(7,pubkey_sig,pubkey_kex)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(scmd.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


If (pubkey_sig.Empty = True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine("No signature key is present.")
Else
    Debug.WriteLine("Signature key:")
    Debug.WriteLine(pubkey_sig.GetPem(True))
End If


If (pubkey_kex.Empty = True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine("No Key Exchange key is present.")
Else
    Debug.WriteLine("Key Exchange key:")
    Debug.WriteLine(pubkey_kex.GetPem(True))
End If


scmd.DeleteContext()

Debug.WriteLine("Success.")


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

' Card name: IDPrime MD T=0
' No signature key is present.
' Key Exchange key:
