I want to write a c++ dll that read certificate from my USB device and send that to browsers like Firefox.And I should mention that i have built my USB device with an ATMega32A which have 2K EEPROM and i stored a sample certificate on that.
I have read some about PKCS#11 standard but i cant figure out where to start. Could anyone help me on this?
You can not “add to Firefox” but you can expose your data to firefox and make them available for use. To do this you need to implement PKCS#11 API and create so-called PKCS#11 driver (the user-mode DLL which implements those 70 or so functions defined in PKCS#11 API). Those functions would talk to the hardware device in order to perform certain operations. Then you plug this PKCS#11 DLL to Firefox and Firefox can use certificates on your device.
