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.

  //  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..

  //  Reader names (smart card readers or USB tokens) can be discovered
  //  via List Readers or Find Smart Cards

  //  If successful, the name of the currently inserted smart card is available:
  WriteLn('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.
