Open Smartcard Certificate Store (or from USB Token)

See more Certificates Examples

Demonstrates how to open the certificate store of the smart card currently in the reader (or the USB token). Iterates over the certs found on the smartcard.

  //  Some smartcard/USB token drivers only support PKCS11 or ScMinidriver.
  //  You may get better results using Chilkat.Cert.LoadFromSmartcard because
  //  Cert.LoadFromSmartcard can automatically detect and utilize PKCS11, ScMinidriver, CNG, and CryptoAPI.
