Hey all, forgive me if this list is the wrong place to ask.

I've been researching smart cards and am looking for a little advice as I'm new to this topic.  I'd like to use the cards for PKINIT, file encryption, and email signing.  My CA issues ECC certs with prime256v1 key type and ecdsa-with-SHA256 signature algorithm.

I've read the supported hardware page on the opensc wiki and /think/ that I've narrowed it down.  The two that looked promising (more documentation on the opensc wiki) are the smartcard-hsm and the Aventra MyEID PKI card.  I think both options support my requirements.

Are there any reason that either of these cards would be a poor choice?  Does anyone else have an alternative recommendation?
