Chip Card Documentation
I have found various chip-card related documents in my archive (having dabbled in card readers before). As these documents (primarily PDF and HMTL) may turn out to be relevant for the KeeChipCard project, I provide them here, grouped into several ZIP archives.
NOTE: Several of the documents are in German. You might try to google English versions or translations.
About the Card Reader APIs
There are two common, vendor-independent card reader APIs: PC/SC and CT-API. Vendors of card readers typically do also provide (rsp install) these APIs:
-
Reiner SCT also supports their card readers on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
Web Documentation Links
A nice summary of ISO 7816 – the "SmartCard Standard" – is available online at the "CardWerk" web site (EN), a company providing "Smart Card Consulting since 1999".
You might also want to have a look at these web sites:
-
the OpenSC project,
-
Microsoft's MSDN documentation about their Smart Card services in Windows,
-
Microsoft's TechNet overview about Smart Cards in Windows,
-
the documentation at "Smart Card Magic.NET",
-
the Linux PC/SC Lite project.
Files in this Directory
CT-API archive
The ctapi.zip archive is about the CT-API, an API sitting atop PC/SC, providing higher-level services ("CT" stands for "Card Terminal").
Datasheet archive
These are, not surprising, in datasheet.zip. Currently there is only one: for the SLE 4432 chip.
Geldkarte archive (German Electronic Purse Application)
The Geldkarte (literally: money card) is a Electronic Purse application ubiquitous in Germany: nearly every bank card in Germany has this application by default. The specification is included here in geldkarte.zip because it could be an attractive card to use for our (rsp my ;-) purposes.
ISO archive
All the low-level stuff what a chip card (or SmartCard) is, looks like, and behaves, has been standardized in the various parts of ISO/IEC 7816. I do not own copies of the official Standard documents (and even if I would, I certainly could not upload them here for license reasons). Some information about the relevant ISO standards which I found "in the internet" is archived in iso.zip nevertheless.
MKT archive
The mkt.zip archive contains some documents specifying a "CardTerminal Basic Command Set", as well as synchronous communication. I would have to re-research where I get these from ... - But it is related to the CT-API, that's pretty sure.
PC/SC archive
The PC/SC API is the most common vendor-independant card reader API. The pcsc.zip archive has some documents and
specifications about it.
