CACKey

CACKey provides a standard interface (PKCS#11) for smartcards connected to a PC/SC compliant reader. It performs a similar function to "CoolKey", but only supports Government Smartcards. It supports all Government Smartcards that implement the Government Smartcard Interoperability Specification (GSC-IS) v2.1 or newer.

The following site is the "upstream" version: http://cackey.rkeene.org/

The conservatory version is only interesting in that it preserves some information about licensing/copyrights that may not be documented in the upstream.

The U.S. Government has Unlimited Rights in this computer software pursuant to the clause DFARS 252.227-7014 of contract No. W91WMC-07-D-0001. Any reproduction of this computer software, or portions thereof, marked with this legend must also reproduce these markings.

See LICENCE for more details.

Compiling:

	$ ./configure
	$ make
	# make install

This will install two libraries (libcackey.so, and libcackey_g.so) into
"/usr/local/lib".

Compiling for Windows:

32-bit and 64-bit Windows libraries can be compiled on POSIX systems using the
mingw toolchain.  The 32-bit binaries will require extracting winscard.dll and 
winscard.lib from the Microsoft Platform SDK to 'build/cackey_win32_build/lib/'.

        $ sh build/cackey_win64_build/build.sh

    This will create 64-bit libraries named libcackey.dll and libcackey_g.dll.

Usage:

The libraries "libcackey.so" and "libcackey_g.so" are RSA PKCS#11
Providers.  They are meant to be linked into any application that
requires a PKCS#11 provider.

The library "libcackey.so" is meant for general purpose use.

The library "libcackey_g.so" is for debugging purposes.  It has
debugging symbols compiled in and generates debugging information on
stderr.

Testing:

	$ make test
	$ ./test
	 - or -
	$ ./test 2>cackey_debug.log
