opensc is a software for using smart cards. depends on what card you are using... > The firmware on OpenSC is open? Where I can found it to study? opensc is not a firmware, but a software for using smart cards. I don't think there is any open source smart card. but at least there are java cardlets like musclecard that you could look at. the musclecard code is open source. and it is partially supported by opensc - should work, works for some, but not yet for me. > I have to write a smart card arcitecture for my thesis and we are searching > the type of card that is appropriate for the purpose.

Someone know where I can > find that? not sure what you exactly want to do? write a smart card operating system? then it would be best to either implement the os for a javacard or some other well known smart card. implementing the cryptoflex API would be great (but if gemalto can somehow prevent you from doing that, you could still go for javacard). or write some software to be run on the smart card? then you need to go for NDA and whatever with some manufacturer or implement a javacard applet. the later might be much more flexible.

I nearly missed your email between all those spams as the subject is quite generic and non-informative. :) _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
