PSCredential and Smartcard Certificates

Overview

This project provides example code for how to use CredMarshalCredential and CredUnmarshalCredential to manage a CERT_CREDENTIAL_INFO data blob on a PSCredential object. This logic is the same logic used by the Get-Credential PowerShell cmdlet.

For a detailed walkthrough, see this blog post.

PowerShell Examples

This project also contains some example PowerShell code for how to read smartcards and generate PSCredential objects, and how to detect and process a PSCredential object that uses a smartcard.

See the PowerShell folder for more details.
