Gemalto released the source code of its tokend.
Tokend
A tokend is a plugin for Mac OS X that links between the CDSA higher layer and a smart card or other cryptographic device. See
Smart Card Services.
PKCS#11 Tokend
The goal of this tokend is to be able to use any PKCS#11 library in CDSA and then with native Apple Applications (Mail, Safari, Key Chain, File Vault, etc.)
No configuration
This tokend will try every PKCS#11 library present in the
standard directory
/usr/lib/pkcs11/ and try to use them. You do not have to configure a specific PKCS#11 library to use.
Source code
The source code is hosted by Apple in the
smartcardservices on the
macosforge serveur. Direct access is at
http://smartcardservices.macosforge.org/trac/browser/trunk/Tokend/PKCS11 You can also find instructions to (re)build the Tokend project at
http://smartcardservices.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/documentation/building
License
The code is licensed under
Apple Public Source License Version 2.0 as the other tokend provided by Apple.
Compiled version
A compiled version can be found in the package installer provided by Gemalto at
http://www.gemalto.com/products/dotnet_card/resources/libraries.html. Download the ".NET PKCS#11 libraries for Mac OS X" file. The tokend is then installed as
/System/Library/Security/tokend/PKCS11.tokend
Long term plan
The idea is to have this tokend provided by Apple in the next
major operating system (Mac OS X 10.7). And I have no idea when that will happen. But I will let you know :-)
