The one from SmartSign webpage is the original one and was
compiled with the first release of Muscle Card Edge API.
This version is preconfigured for using 1 single PIN on the
card for key generation/rewrite/use (PIN n.0). This was
done to make people play with it in the easiest way.

The one from MuscleFramework should be compatible with latest
Muscle Card Framework (including header renames...) and uses
(more correctly) 2 different PINs: n.0 ("transport pin") for
key generation/rewrite, PIN n.1 for key usage. David told me
all of this but I still didn't check by myself if everything
is ok.

I agree that openssl-engine is a good starting point instead
of having the RSA METHOD stuff. Eventually future releases
of OpenSSH-CE will adopt the engine paradigm. But before
wasting time on this, I want to be sure that it is possible
to integrate the Muscle Card Edge support into OpenSSH in
a modular way (as it was NOT the case for OpenSSH-2.9p2).
As far as I know, in the 3.x release, they used some
openssl-engine features, so maybe integration is modularizable.

Hope this helps, regards,

        Tommaso.
