Authentication and Signature with Smartcards in Java

Why is this a contest not a project? As Chrome disabled the Java plugin we cannot work with applets anymore and our applets were responsible for read data from USB and authenticate users with smartcards and sign pdf files (attached signature) after user logged. So the challenge here is to provide a solution without Java and without any plugin as flash, silverlight, active x and other. Check this is a good sample [login to view URL] - You are supposed to install a software in the machine, but the authentication does not call any Java plugin. The software install a extension in the firefox and chrome browsers that allow this operation. We found a good solution for that problem here [login to view URL] - That open source project works with Firebreath and allows to communicate over javascript to usb smartcard. Well, the challenge is to build a client-server sample Java application that: == LEVEL 1 == 1) Build a web page with a button to login. That button must read data from smartcard without plugins with the components I sent previously (if you find any other better than those it's ok) and fake an authentication operation. 2) After login it will reach a fake page with the certificate data (issuer name, issuer validity etc..) == LEVEL 2 == 3) Once logged, create a upload file field to receive PDFs. After selecting file and click at upload you must read data from smartcard and asks for the PIN password because you'll read the private key, the pin password and sign the file in the client side, and finally you will upload the signed file to a servlet. 4) The server will receive the file uploaded and it must be signed by the user certificate.
