> OpenSSL engines as means of authentication

This is not enough, as you cannot read the certificate from the engine. And it is \
difficult to detect card removal/insert, session expiration and much more.

The problem is that I don't know if the kssl worth investment as it may be replaced.

But if you like we can work on this together, my pkcs11-helper [1] solves the \
OpenSSL/PKCS#11 issues, but I lack the knowledge of Qt development.

There is also QCA PKCS#11 plugin I wrote based on pkcs11-helper [2], but I don't know \
if QCA was added to KDE-4.1 roadmap.
