Trust1Connector Updates
Here is a summary of all the changes made on the Trust1Connector. But as this is a bit nerdy stuff, here are the main reasons for you to upgrade to this version
We finalised the integration the PKCS#11 protocol which enables to Trust1Connector to us certificates that are stored in the keystores of Mac and Microsoft.
We have really been working on stability of the Trust1Connector. From rock solid we have made it double rock solid.
The newest (announced) versions of browsers will have an updated PNA specification. This was announced for Google Chrome v117. Older versions of the Trust1Connector will not work with the new PNA specifications.
We have added an initial version of a debugging tool. It is still a bit nerdy, but does some basic checks on the Trust1Connector and helps you trouble shoot your users in case of issues.
Furthermore:
You probably know that we have a Web Application of ReadMyCards available for demonstration and showcase (https://rmc.t1t.io/). Well, we have added additional documentation to that one.
