Hi Martin, Yes, TSS does apparently give you a PKCS#11 interface when layered with openCryptoki (http://trousers.sourceforge.net/pkcs11.html). I haven't used this configuration personally (I'm trying to work with a specific vendors PKCS#11 library and access the TPM using Java through the SunPKCS11 bridge).
You didn't specify the platform - if you're using Windows, your TPM provider probably has a PKCS#11 library already bundled in the TPM software distribution. Arshad Noor StrongAuth, Inc. Martin Schneider wrote:
Hello everybody, I'm new to this topic, so it would be kind if some of you people could give me some input. I want to use certificates which according private key is protected inside a Trusted Platform Module and use these Certificates for client side authentication towards a web based service running on an Apache. As far as I understand, there should be the possibility to somehow use the TPM together with Firefox or Thunderbird if you have a suitable PKCS#11 module. As far as I know, will TrouSerS or jTSS offer such a PKCS#11 provider. But I do not understand how this must be used. Did anybody of you set up something as I want to do and maybe put down some notes? Thanks for your replies Martin
