OK, I've been promising it for awhile. I have finally released a pre Alpha
version of Smart Manager. It does NOT yet integrate into the kernel so it is
still limited to 1 application since the application must be built on the
resource manager. I will SOON have it so you can load a library from any
application that will talk to /dev/smartcard which will communicate to the
Resource Manager using IOCTL. For now I have tested this on Sparc Solaris,
and Intel Linux with two readers hooked up simultaneously. Applications can
lock the current reader so no one else can perform a malicous RESET on them
while they are doing data transfers. This lock is maintained by a random
handle that I send back to the application which is basically it's key to the
reader. Anyway the source is posted on the site to look at. It hasn't been
well commented yet, for I just wanted to get it out fairly quickly.
Thanks
Dave
