[Openswan Users] strongswan and smartcards

[Norbert Wegener]

Hello Andreas,
I want to play a bit with smartcards and strongswan, which leads me to 
some questions around that topic.
Which smardcards would you recommend for use with strongswan?
Can they also be used with windows clients without specialsoftware?
Are there any preferred readers?
Which software/hardware could/should be used to write smartcards?
Thanks
Norbert
