RE: Software smart-card emulation

FWIW, Tim & are seeking different variations on the same theme.
Since I work mostly in virtual machines, I need something that's strictly software.
I *can* set up a dedicated machine to get USB ports, but that's a huge pain now.

I'm no expert, hardly, but I imagine you can do something custom with
mini-CDs, CDs, floppys, or USB keys that hold the certificate data,
and just set the authenticating machine to run the auto-play through
the authenticating program, with the added benefit that they can
function like a USB dongle-lock, so the computers won't function if
they don't have the cd/usb key/etc.

Just my two cents

Greetings security professionals:

Has anyone worked with a software Smart Card emulation package they can
recommend? The goal is to test different "client authentication"
Windows smart card implementations without having to go out and purchase
the actual physical hardware (and cards) to do so. Basically, I want
something that will let me offer up a cert to a server/service as if it
were a "smart card."
