Well, there is a list of linux driver here: http://www.linuxnet.com/sourcedrivers.html You can find tools and info at the MUSCLE site: http://www.linuxnet.com/software.html There is another open source project that may be of help: http://www.opensc-project.org/ As a starting point, I have to suggest you a good book. I bought this one: Smart Cards the developer toolkit Timothy M. Jurgensen Scott B. guthery ISBN 0 13 093730 4 You can find many other books at Amazon's. If you are/speak italian, as it seems possible from your name, you may read this one: programmazione delle smart card Ugo Chirico Infomedia edizioni ISBN 8881500140 (www.infomedia.it) Or this one: http://www.bol.it/libri/scheda/ea978888363273.html > I see that this athena product is linux compatible: > > http://www.athena-scs.com/product.asp?pid=20 > > It seems a good reader/writer. > > Could you tell me if this hardware is ok to start writing/reading smart > card > and what library/wrapper i have to use to write/read data. Check the list of drivers at MUSCLE or OpenSC sites. Maybe you would like to use a USB card reader or even a readerless USB smart card like Aladdin (http://www.aladdin.com/etoken/usb_device.asp). BTW: Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG) is able to read/write a SC, if the right driver is present.
