[Opensc-devel] CAC and PIV support

[David K. <ds...@gm...>]

Hello, we wish to use OpenSC in an application that should support CAC and
PIV cards.

>From the supported cards
<https://www.opensc-project.org/opensc/wiki/SupportedHardware> page for
OpenSC I can only see PIV, but am confused what the difference between them
is. CAC seems to be for military personnel while PIV is for the wider
civilian gov population. Also CAC seems to be PIV-compliant but am not sure
if that means OpenSC can read that.

So am a bit confused here and was hoping someone with more experience on
the subject can clear this up!


Thanks,
David
