Hi everyone,
I'm developping a smart card minidriver according to "Windows Smart Card Minidriver Specifications". I
packages it with USBKey device driver to a setup package and tests it on
Windows2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista and it works
perfectly. But now I have some questions:

1. I found many smart card minidrivers have been listed in Microsoft
Update website: http://test.catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=umdf
. How to send my minidriver to microsoft to test and post it to this
website? Before I send it to microsoft what should I do ? Are there
some guide document ?

2. I found these minidrivers are packaged in cab format and signed by
microsoft, it is deferent with normal setup packages we always see. Are there
some specifications to the minidirver distibution method? There is a INF
file in cab package, are there some documents to explain the smart card
minidriver inf file ?

3. I found these minidrivers are distributed without device drivers,
perhaps they are smart card, not usb key, or they work with CCID-reader.
But my minidriver is to USBKey with real 3rd device driver. How can I
distribute the minidriver with the real device driver.


Please help me, I expect your answer.

Thanks,
Skyird Le
