Hello,

I would like to announce the first BETA version of the
MUSCLE Virtual Card Edge developers kit available under the
Applet Exchange at: http://www.linuxnet.com under Software.

This developer's kit gives you the applet class files to load the
virtual card applet on JavaCard 2.1 compliant VISA OP smartcards. It also
includes a client side API for developing smartcard applications. It has
been tested on Linux, Solaris, and Mac OS 10.1. With this package you can
develop applications for any multi-application smartcard which follows the
included standard in the developer's kit or support legacy applications
under this simple API. The purpose of this is to try and establish a
standard for communicating to multi-application smartcards. It would be
difficult to support every legacy smartcard but with this technology we
can quickly support the growing population of Java and multi-application
smartcards.

The applet currently supports:

On board key generation for RSA in CRT or exponent/modulus form.
RSA, DSA, 3DES, DES
Object creation, deletion, read, write
External authentication
PIN management, verification, creation, change
The applet supports a key loading mechanism enabling the support
of key sizes up to 64k bits in length.
Key management.....

In fact you can develop applications to use this API in less than 10 lines
of code. The kit comes complete with applet specification documentation
and API documentation in PDF format. It has been tested with ssh,
openssl, pam, and others.

The client side API will accomidate legacy cards which can be plugged in
future releases of ssp-lite to this new API.

I will also have some updated drivers to present early next week.

Best Regards,
Dave
