Hola David, A quick scan of Guia de Referencia Basica (http://www.dnielectronico.es/PDFs/Guia_de_referencia_basica_v1.0.pdf) confirms what I had initially thought: It is a X.509v3 based system. You'll need the card specific PKCS#11 library (Crytographic Service Provider in Windows parlance) and a reader and you should be able to use the card with most modern browsers and email programs:eg, IE/OE/Outlook, Firefox/Thunderbird/Seamonkey. There may be others, but those are the ones I deal with on Windows platforms. Info on the CSP is at www.dnielectronico.es/descargas/ Since you're using Windows, for email signing you'll be limited to S/MIME unless use use a Smart Card-enabled application such as a modern release of PGP which allows the use of a X.509 certificate to make an OpenPGP signature. (The keys on the cards are RSA). If my Spanish wasn't so rusty I could probably give you some better answers. -- John P.
