Re: [Opensc-devel] OpenSC with qemu (Gemplus support)

[Douglas E E. <dee...@gm...>]

It sound like you are trying to write a software version of a smart card
and interface at the USB level using the qemu code as a starting point?


You might want to Google for: software emulation of smart cards

There are a number of these available including:

https://github.com/frankmorgner/vsmartcard

There is also :
http://www.softhsm.org/

which implements a software version of smart card but at a PKCS#11 module.
