Hi, Here is my submission for a talk at the security devroom at Fosdem. I can probably jam my session into a 30 minute slot. Who am I? Contact: Tomas Gustavsson Tel: 046-707421096 Email: see from field Affiliation: PrimeKey Solutions AB / EJBCA Bio: Project founder/manager of the EJBCA PKI project (http://ejbca.org/) and CTO at PrimeKey (http://primekey.se). Long time developer and consultant with PKI/security solutions (nowadays exclusively for EJBCA and SignServer). Contributor to projects such as BouncyCastle (http://bouncycastle.org/). Have also sent minor patches to other projects such as pcsclite and openscep. Talk duration: I can probably cram my session into a 30 minute slot. Talk description: "PKI smart cards in practice; usage lifecycle" The whole chain needed in order to use smart cards are quite complex. PKI, middle-ware and cards are needed and must all work together in order to make a succesful deployment in larger scale. This talk will demonstrate how opensc can be used together with EJBCA PKI, using smart cards as an HSM for the certificate authority, issuing certificates to user smart cards to be used for client authentication. We will show where the tricky integration points are and talk about what we can do about it together.
