Two weeks ago we (Bostjan Kolar, Marko Zdouc, Marko Dorn and Me) held first workshop "Smart cards for .NET Developers" in Varazdin (Croatia).

Going to Las Vegas to attend MIX conference

Tomorrow morning I'm flying to Las Vegas to attend MIX conference. There are some sessions I’m really looking forward for. I’ll surely get some ideas for my lectures on our local conference NTK 2007 (14^th to 16^th of May).

And of course, because this is my first trip to Vegas I’ll try my luck with gamblingJ.

Exploring .NET Smart Card Framework SDK

I finally got the .NET Smart Card Framework SDK . Yes, that's another gadget with (tiny) .NET Framework.

I immediatly put hands on and faced the first problem: as Administrator you have to authenticate with card using T-DES challenge/response. No problem, you have everything you need in .NET System.Cryptography namespace. But ... default administrators key is 000...000 (24 bytes all nulls) which throws an WeakKey exception when you try to use it with TripleDES class. In order to change the default key, first you have to login with it - eh...

Finally I found the solution on Gemalto's site http://www.netsolutions.gemalto.com/utilities.html . Cryptogram calculator on this site has fixed Admin key (all 0), you just enter the challenge and voila.

Othervise the .NET smart card is quite impressive for me as .NET programmer. I could tell more after few weeks...
