Windows Smart Card logon supported cards?

can me buying smart card windows sc logon. don't know smart cards supported. there explanation needs support minidriver or microsoft csp. there no compatibility list, technical documents how works.

where can find supported lists of smart card models , manufactures?

is sle cards supported?

i found gemalto .net card recommended... 

hi,

i dont think such list exists microsoft. idea behind base smart card driver is api , hardware vendors can make products compatible. , developed gemalto, that's why see gemalto cards mentioned in lot of documents. 

the minidriver specification undergoing evolutionary process - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn631754(v=vs.85).aspx.

i prefer gemalto cards , have experience aladdin cards (now safenet).

hope helps,

lutz
