RE: CAPI

Imported PUBLIC keys are ephemeral, ie. they are valid only until you close
the context. The only permanent storage in CAPI is a container which may
only store two keypairs (one AT_SIGNATURE and one AT_KEYEXCHANGE).
Everything else (including imported public keys and all secret keys) is only
temporary, disappear when you close the context.

Hi, im developing a Cryptographic Service Provider, and I have a
question that is not solved in the MS documentation... When you import a
public key i dont know if they must be ephemeral or not. Our system
invloves the use of SmartCards, and we want to store all non ephemeral
information into the card
 
Thx in advance
