Re: asp.net data authentication

Signing data with a private key requires access to the private key and that
is only available on the client application. As such, you will need some
code running in the browser itself to actually sign the data you want to
sign.

There are potentially a bunch of different ways you could do this (ActiveX,
..NET downloadable component, maybe script?), but you can't do it completely
with server side code.

My requirement is this, I need to be able to have personnel sign data with
a
smart card. For instance I would like to place a text box and a button on
a
page and have a user pick on the button provide the pin for smart card and
it
will put their digital signature in the textbox. The reason for this is
for
signing payrolls or authenticating other typers of data. Can this be done
in
asp.net and how.
Thanks
