SmartCard for SmartCard Reader on Laptop

[EduTech]

Evening,

I have just noticed that i have a smartcard reader on my laptop, now we dont use them at work or anything.. anyway, i was just wondering am i able to purchase 1 smartcard which i can programme to work with my laptop?

Is it as simple as buying a card? or is it more complicated then that..? in which case is it expensive

For Reference the reader is: O2Micro OZ776 USB SmartCard Controller

Cheers

James.

Erm i dont think so, on the Windows Client OS you cant use certificate server. When you issue a SmartCard you need to put a certificate on the card.
