Description

The Spice protocol defines a set of messages to forward smartcard information from the Spice client to the VM. This channel handles these messages. While it's mainly focus on smartcard readers and smartcards, it's also possible to use it with a software smartcard (ie a set of 3 certificates from the client machine). This class doesn't provide useful methods, see SpiceSession properties for a way to enable/disable this channel, and SpiceSmartcardManager if you want to detect smartcard reader hotplug/unplug, and smartcard insertion/removal.
