Hi all, Perhaps a ludicreous question, but i post it anyway...
Some creditcard companies or banks supply their customer with cards plus pin-code in order to identify themselfs during financial transactions. >From my focus i presume these look like ordinary smartcards. Can these cards also be used for anything else? Did anybody ever looked at them this way? It is not that i would try to temper with them, but if these are safe enough to be trusted by a bank, why could i not use them for instance, for setting up a vpn? (If it is completely nonsence, just say so) hw Oh, and by the way, the cards of some banks let you even store money on the card it self. And when do a micro transaction (ticket in a car-park or so) you only have to press the "OK" button. Funny thing is that these banks provide small gadgets that can read the amount still stored on these cards, and they work for cards from several banks eg: different kind of "smartcards". Would be fun to be able to do those "readings" on my linux PC, not? _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
