I am trying to write minidriver for cardreader and right now I dont have any smart cardreader. So I wrote one mindriver in which I am exporting cardAcquireContext function along with other function.Then I wrote one application which is using crypto APIs (for eg cryptoAcquireContext to get handle to key container) which can call my minidriver cardAcquireContext. But my application is unnable to call the cardAcquireContext function.I want to know

1)why function cardAcquireContext is not called implicitly but can be called explicitly(direct call to exported function from my application).
2)Is it necessary to have a cardreader and smart card to call base CSP functions of minidriver?

I am using
