developer.intel.com: CDSA 2 Ported to Linux

Reader Patrick Ryan writes:

"Intel has posted an update to their open sourced implementation of the Common Data Security Architecture 2, an Open Group standard. The initial posting in May only ran on Windows. This update includes a Linux port. CDSA 2 provides a abstract unified API for performing cryptographic and security related operations, including biometric operations. Imagine logging into your box using a fingerprint scanner or signing your emal with a smart card."
