I am working on a CA project, in which I have Internet Explorer generate the RSA public/private key pair and send it to the CA for a client certificate.
This way, the private key stays somewhere with the local computer. And thus I assume that the certificate is confined to this computer. Well, I know that we can export it (including the private key) to a file called *.pfx, transfer it to another computer and import it. But I don't like this. Thus I am wondering if we can use smart card to do this. Can you guys tell me if Internet Explorer supports smart card? Suppose we visit a site which requires client authentication, IE will bring up a pop-up window and present us a list of valid certs for us to choose from. Now if I store my personal private key and certificate in a smart card, will IE be able to read such information for me to choose from? Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
