OK, now I'm thoroughly confused, because my further investigation into the
PIV cards and technology on the Mac has unearthed a tech here who is running
OS X 10.5 and is able to read 2048-bit certs off of his demo PIV card with a
standard SCR card reader and *NO* replacement PIV tokend. EVERYTHING I've
read so far has told me that the OS X PIV tokend is hard-coded to only be
able to handle 1024-bit PIV auth certs... what am I missing here?
As always, thanks for any insight...
