[Muscle] Smart-Card Open Test Toolkit
Hi all, I would like to announce the availability of SCOTT, an open, modular and extensible smart-card shell, which can be used for interacting with smart-card devices, i.e., browsing its contents or also using the on-board capabilities, as well as for automating such smart-card operations by means of scripts. The envisioned usage scenario is around automated smart-card configuration like needed during the development of smart-card based applications, where one may have to repeatedly perform a set of operations onto a smart-card, usually for testing purposes. For example, "formatting" a card and loading some certificates and keys, or loading some (updated version of a) JavaCard Applet. This is the motivation for the project name: Smart-Card Open Test Toolkit. The idea is to have a basic core constituted by a command-line interactive shell, where external plugins define sets of commands which can be: -) commands related to some particular smart-card API, like the "system" scott-pcsc plug-in, which provides shell commands for listing available readers, checking status, connecting to the inserted device and sending generic APDUs; -) commands corresponding to a set of command APDUs defined by some specific standard, like the scott-iso7816 plug-in, currently supporting ISO 7816-4 file management commands -) commands corresponding to the specific set of APDUs supported by a particular smart-card device, like the scott-cryptoflex8 plug-in, currently supporting specific capabilities of the Schlumberger Cryptoflex 8K device. Other plugins which may come in the future could be for supporting loading of JavaCard applets, for supporting specific commands of particular devices, or for supporting other standard APIs. The shell has a built-in type-system, by which a plug-in can define its own set of types. This allows for example to exchange high-level information with the user in a structured form (the classical example is when one provides the set of information needed to create a new file, or when one selects an on-board file and retrieves its "descriptor"). Also, it has a built-in variables environment, by which one can assign return types from commands, then supply them to other commands as input, etc The project has been developed by Andrea Angella for his masters thesis in Computer Engineering here at the Real-Time Systems Laboratory of Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, under my supervision, and it has been released under GPL open-source license. Code is available on gna.org: https://gna.org/projects/scott Any comment/suggestion is of course encouraged and very welcome.

[Muscle] smart card driver in linux environment
Dear All, I have asked you about developing smart card driver in Linux environment long back. I got some information after studying the PC/SC specifications and OpenSC User Manuals. The general smart card architecture as follows From the above architecture I understood that I need to develop the IFD (smart card reader) driver to my PCI card. For this IFD driver I follow the character driver features and I decided to develop a character driver for handling the following features 1) Power management features 2) Parsing the ATR 3) Transmitting and receiving functionality between ICC and IFD for T=0 and T=1 4) IOCTLs based on the requirement I also understood that I need to develop the IFD Handler that is specific to our IFD. I have studied the ifhandler.pdf file which explains about the APIs that are generally accessed by the Resource Manager of the PC/SC Lite. Still I have some doubts in my mind. Could any one please clarify them? 1) Where can I find the installation procedure for the OpenSC Library under Linux environment? If I install the OpenSC library, even then I need to install the PC/SC lite on my Linux box? I have gone through the following link, but it gives more information on Windows boxes only. http://www.opensc.org/files/doc/opensc.html 2) How the Resource Manager knows about our IFD Handler and our I/O device driver? Where/How can we inform the Resource Manager about our IFD Handler and I/O Device Driver? 3) I studied in the PART-3 of the PC/SC specification about the following. The slot logical device shall support the following ICC-related events: • Card insertion notification • Card removal notification My question is: How the PC/SC Resource Manager will know about the Card Insertion or Card Removal Events? I also studied about it like When one of these events occurs, it is the responsibility of the IFD Handler to notify the ICC Resource Manager layer. How it will notify the RM of the PC/SC Lite? Should I need to do any thing in the driver on behalf of this? 4) If the system has two different smart card readers (IFDs) then how it will distinguishes the IFD Handlers? Like in which slot the user has inserted the smart card? 5) My final question is: I need to develop only IFD Handler and I/O device driver for my IFD (smart card reader). Is it correct? OR I need to develop any other modules other than this. Thanks in advance.

Or use the mechanism used in openssh-mcard-3.5p1 where the remote system sends a challange to the ssh-agent, which forwards it to the card. The card signs it with the private key, and returns it to the agent, which returns it top the remote host. The remote host verifies it using the public key. when you use ssh, as long as the card is in the reader, you can log onto the remote system without a password. Getting it to work with remote mounting of file shares is possible, but I have no idea about the difficulty. You still need to tell the ssh-agent the PIN number you use.

As I see it, if I don't want the user to type passwords for the remote shares I have 2 possibilities: 1.- Although I don't like it: store passwords in the smart card (as Sun recommended in their pam documentation). 2.- Use remote authentication onto a server using cryptographic capabilities of the card (kerberos or something like that). Single signon. Is there any existant software that can use this scheme (specially using pam)? If now, what do you think is the faster path to developping this kind of logon?

Hello all, I'm pleased to announce our first smart card developer training course that will be offered to the public February 23-27 2004 in Austin TX. We've taught several of these one week courses in the past which cover pretty much everything with smart cards from APDUs, file-system cards, Java Cards, PKCS#11, CryptoAPI, Global Platform, and more. There is also a 3 hour (each day) evening lab which includes programming exercises. Everything is pretty much provided. For more information go to: http://www.identityalliance.com Just as an update, I've been doing some re-organizing over the past few months and working primarily for the US government to roll out federal smart card identification here in the states. It is rather exciting work and has given us a chance to write some software on the side that we felt was needed as well. We are releasing a shareware Java Card management program that works with most Schlumberger and Gemplus Java Cards to allow you to load, instantiate, delete, list, etc applets on the card. We'll post it to the site soon. I'm really pleased to see how this and other smart card related projects have taken off and provided software for use in a wide array of operating systems.

Could you please give me some information about software for Smart card Management ? I have so few information about it. See PC/SC Lite documentation [3] (in the doc directory) and CT-API [4]. - What does Smart card Management server include ? (DB server, .. ?) - How does it work - How many server may I need ? Thanks and best Regards We only provide the management of the smart card reader and the communication with the card(s) and after it is your responsability to implement the framework that you need.

[Muscle] Smart Card Market
Hi all, I'm searching for a few data about smart card market. I was thinking somebody on this ML can easily help me. I roughly need to know how the market of cryptographic smart cards is subdivided with respect to security applications, smth. like: App Category Percentage - PKI enabled applications: xxx% - remote authentication: - digital signatures: - document encryption: - ... - User authentication - Encrypted filesystem - Badge for physical access control - Cellular phones - Credit cards - Prepaid Payment Cards (telephone, ...) - etc Is there anybody who can suggest me a good source for such information (even with respect to a limited geographical area) ? Thanks, bye, Tommaso. ___ Muscle mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.musclecard.com/mailman/listinfo/muscle
