[aklug] Re: Common Access Cards - Technical Aspects

Not sure what you are looking for, but I am currently supporting a .MIL
network segment in AK, which the .MIL appears to be the world's largest PKI
infrastructure mostly to support CAC-PKI authentication

Have you checked out Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Access_Card - Mostly accurate
information and there are some useful links there as well

For MIL Apple OS-X systems, http://www.thursby.com/ is supplying Active
Directory and CAC-PKI support

I have seen some resources for Linux published, however I have not actually
investigated them

http://www.smartcardbasics.com/ is an interesting over view of smart
card/chip card technology

The http://www.smarttoolz.com/ is a site by Cardlogix
http://www.cardlogix.com/products/ which has developer tools

I'm working on a scripting project at work right now relating to CACs.
Does anyone on the list happen to have some theoretical or practical
knowledge of how CACs work?

I'm reading through the government's official GSC Interoperability
Specification and the ICC requirements. But it would be nice be able to
throw a few questions and thoughts back and forth on the list.

(Humorous side note: I did a word count on a random page of the GSCIS,
and discovered that there were ten acronyms on the page for every real
word. Let me tell you, that makes for some exciting reading...)
