These papers specify the cryptographic operations requirements for smart card minidrivers that individual hardware vendors must meet in order to receive the Designed for Windows Logo. The Smart Card Base Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP) exposes the cryptographic capabilities of smart cards through the CAPI interface. The Smart Card Base CSP isolates all smart card specific cryptographic operations in the smart card minidriver [CMSPEC]. The [CMSPEC] forms the basis of the requirements identified in these papers.
The card minidriver can also be accessed by CNG Key Storage Providers (KSPs). This is the interface through which the ECC capabilities of the card minidrivers are exposed.
Included in each paper:
- Overview and Scope
- Test Criteria
