WIP: OpenSC @ FOSDEM 2011
- What, Where, When? FOSDEM 2011, February 05-06 2011, Brussels, Belgium
- Why? To raise the awareness of OpenSC and smart cards in general; to meet with other developers and promote integration; to meet with wide audience and hear their thoughts and needs; to have fun and enjoy Belgian beer.
(Thread on opensc-devel http://www.opensc-project.org/pipermail/opensc-devel/2010-September/014847.html).

Activities
Devroom
- devroom name: "Security / hardware crypto keys"
- topic, goals and target projects
- see above "Why?"
- as long as there is software that has a "key_file ...; certificate_file ...;" stanza in the configuration file and does not work with hardware based keys, there is progress to be made.
- related projects:
- OpenSC
- To have seamless support in applications for cards supported by OpenSC, either pre-personalized with created with pkcs15-init or some other mechanism.
- NSS
- Integration of crypto devices in Gnome: GnomeKeyring? (framework) + Seahorse (GUI)
- EJBCA - signing certificates via OpenSC PKCS#11, assuring that a relatively straightforward personalization/enrollment would be possible with OpenSC.
- Some projects are linked to EJBCA: Hard Token Management Framework and SignServer?.
- Building VPNs with crypto devices: OpenVPN, Stunnel and Strongswan .
- PLEASE ADD MORE OpenSSL (as MANY software links against it)? GnuTLS?

Brainstorm
- (martin) To catch the attention of developers, share a leaflet with the problem description while wearing a properly themed t-shirt with the message "Do you protect your private keys the same way as you protect your privates?" and a complimentary condom. Would be quite funny and catchy, if some condom manufacturer donated a few hundred/thousand condoms for health (and tech!) education purposes.
