A smart card designed to be opened and in an open source environnent, that's something new in the smart card world.

However the card didn't have a crypto api driver so it can't be used to logon with active directory or with the EIDAuthenticate program. To solve this issue a mini driver was developed.

Binaries

Latest release :

• OpenPGPmdrv-0.0.0.1-x64.msi
• OpenPGPmdrv-0.0.0.1-x86.msi

For older release, you can browse the Wald website.

Source code

You can get the latest version of the source code using :

svn checkout https://svn.wald.intevation.org/svn/openpgpmdrv/trunk

1. Why isn't the driver signed and automatically deployed ?

To be automatically deployed by Windows Update, the driver must be validated by the Microsoft Driver Test program for each platform it targets. The driver has been tested by myself and is compliant with these tests. However the cost per OS is 400$.

Just to be automatically deployed on Windows 7, 500$ is needed.

2. Can I use the driver out of the box to logon on Windows ?

Well no. To be compliant with Windows test procedures, the card must be considered as a read only driver. You have to generate a key and a certificate using a third party program.

I has personally tested my driver with the EIDAuthenticate program and it works.

3. Does the minidriver works with Windows XP ?

The version of the minidriver published doesn't work on Windows XP. However, it should require a few modification to be compatible. Feel free to get the source code and submit to us your modification.
