Hello Martin,
we also maintain a current version of the OpenCard Framework as part of
the OpenSCDP Project at [1]. This has build in support for
javax.smartcardio, secure messaging, generic ISO 7816 file services and
much more. We use OCF as part of the Smart Card Shell scripting environment.

Hello,

I currently have a java application that allows the user to login to a
website using a smart card. I use openSC-java to select a card reader,
create a session and pull out certificate information, etc. I would like to
make this a web application but I know that openSC-java depends on a few
.dll files for windows and a few .so files for linux. Right now I am just
working with the windows half. The way my app works now is it checks for
openSC in the system path if it doesn’t find it then it prompts to run an
installer that I created that puts openSC in C:\program files\opensc and
then adds that to the system path and reboots the computer. The next time
the user goes to run the program they will be able to use opensc.
What I am basically wondering is, is their a way to create a jar that has
the opensc dependencies (.dll) so that the user never has to download and
run my installer? Everything will be handled online.
There are three aspects of Java and smart cards that matter in the context of
web applications:
- TLS/SSL client authentication (means configuration of the web container, so
not really related to OpenSC)
- access to cryptographic smart cards in applets via a JNI bridge to PKCS#11
(possible via Sun PKCS#11 provider available since Java 1.5+ or OpenSC-Java
one, the problem you're facing)
- access to smart cards via javax.smartcardio in Java 1.6+
IMO, the preferred way would be to use javax.smartcardio and bypass the JNI
problem, if you have a specific smart card to talk to and don't need to rely
on the PKCS#11 provider availability on the client machine. There is
preliminary support for reading PKCS#15 structures a la OpenSC does, in Java,
as pointed out in [1]
There are some *very* preliminary pointers to Java resources on OpenSC wiki
[1] which will be improved ASAP
