Hi Nelson,
Smart cards are essentially never provisioned using<keygen> except
in very local instances such as within an organization.
Why is that? Because it doesn't work.
I'm not sure what you mean with "it doesn't work". We are using smart
cards almost everywhere without a problem. We use keygen for generating
the keys on the smart card. It works every time...perhaps you can
explain where exactly the problem is?
None of the makers of
smart cards have invested a single cent in a consumer-oriented
on-line provisioning scheme. And if they ever would, it would be
entirely proprietary.
Yes, unfortunately the proprietary drivers and PKCS11 modules work a but
better. But I had success using both open and closed source...as a
matter of fact, some proprietary solutions use also open source modules
(on Linux and Mac) in conjunction with theirs.
