Smartcard Interfacing Framework

Introduction

This package consists of a set of Smalltalk classes which implement a framework for the development of smartcard applications. All of the card-terminal protocol and the card protocol are implemented as pluggable components, which allows for easy future extension.

Especially if used with the cryptographic support library, security applications are easy to implement with Smalltalk/X.

Supported Card Terminals

To date, the following terminal/terminal protocols are supported:

OROS/GemPlus compatible terminals (i.e. GemPlus GCR500, GCR410 etc.)

Supported Card Protocols

T0
T1 (GemPlus only - under construction)

Supported Cards

ISO7816 Card
GSM11.11 Card

Example

The following code-fragment reads a cards ICC-id from a card (assumes a GemPlus card reader being connected to the serial line):

    |cardTerminal card iccID|

    cardTerminal := GemPlus_GCR500 atDevice:'/dev/cua1'.
    cardTerminal waitForCardPresentInSlot:1.
    card := cardTerminal getCardInSlot:1.

    iccID := card getIccId.
    Transcript showCR:'The ICC-id is: ' , iccID.

    cardTerminal waitForCardRemovedInSlot:1.
    cardTerminal close
