Greetings,

I need to read a certificate stored inside a CAC (SmartCard) from both an ASP.NET and WinForm application to authenticate users. The CAC card is attached to the client computer via USB.

Is .NET capable of this? If so, what classes accomplish this and do examples exist?

Or, do I need a third party SDK?

Thanks,

Roy
