This clearly violates ISO7816/4. It is either a test to very the handling of
invalid APDUs, or is a proprietary Bull command.

Case 1 command APDU, but otherwise probably Bull proprietary.

Maybe just test to verify handling of invalid APDUs ?

SELECT command with secure messaging, but should return error from the card as
file id is missing.

IBM internal case 1 command ?

Could be, but I assume it is a negative test.

ISO7816/4 defines command and response APDUs to be used between the application
and the card. This APDU format is independent of the transmission protocol, it
works for T=0 and T=1:

Case 1: CLA INS P1 P2
SW1 SW2
Case 2: CLA INS P1 P2 Lc 
SW1 SW2
Case 3: CLA INS P1 P2 Le
 SW1 SW2
Case 4: CLA INS P1 P2 Lc  Le
 SW1 SW2

Using this format, an application can be independent of the transmission
protocol used. Still any intermediate layer in the protocol can determine from
the length of the APDU and the Lc/Le field the format of the command.

The transmission protocol must map the command APDU to a command
TPDU and convert a received response TPDU to a response APDU. For T=1 this is
trivial, as both formats are identical. Exception to the rule is a case 1
command, where a P3=00 needs to be added. For T=0 this is a little bit more
complicated:

First T=0 is not capable of handling Case 4 APDU's directly, instead the
command is send as a Case 2 command, whereby a subsequent GET RESPONSE
command will fetch the result from the card. In an ideal world, this would be
done by the protocol stack in the IFD directly. Unfortunately, there are some
cards around, that have problems with this automatic GET REPONSE mode, so it
should at least be possible to disable such a feature.

T=0 defines the TPDU to be

Case 1: CLA INS P1 P2 P3=00
SW1 SW2
Case 2: CLA INS P1 P2 P3=Lc 
SW1 SW2
Case 3: CLA INS P1 P2 P3=Le
 SW1 SW2

as said before a Case 4 command would be handled like
Case 4: CLA INS P1 P2 P3=Lc 
SW1 SW2
CLA INS='C0' P1='00' P2='00' P3=Le
 SW1 SW2

Things get even more complicated with the extended length fields, but I haven't
seen a card with T=0 that uses extended length fields. For T=1 it work O.K.

So, PC/SC should do nothing with these APDU's expect to pass them to the
IFD handler. The IFD handler needs to do the mapping and shall return an error
if he is not successfull.

MUSCLE Bull PC/SC Test Card

2000-03-09 Thread Matthias Bruestle

Mahlzeit


Dunno about the 3 byte command, but 4 bytes is the "normal" form
for Case 1 commands. They are transmittet in this form by T=1.
For T=0 the must be filled by a zero byte to 5 bytes.

MUSCLE Bull PC/SC Test Card

2000-03-09 Thread David Corcoran

Hello,

The following command came from IFD_TEST.EXE on Windows.


Does anyone know what the following command does on the Bull PC/SC test card ?

bc c4 00
bc a0 00 00

These are only 3 and 4 byte commands.  Any clues 

On the IBM card test there are these commands 

a4 a4 00
a4 a4 00 00
b6 42 00 40

On the Schlumberger there is

00 d6 00 00 - Is this a special case of update binary ?

Any clues what each of these command is supposed to do and how PC/SC is
supposed to handle them since they are under 5 bytes ?

Dave

actually.. there should be something on the website about it.. I saw it

MUSCLE New Drivers

2000-03-09 Thread David Corcoran

Hello,

I have released the drivers for the Schlumberger Reflex 72 and the SCM
RS110 serial readers on the web site.  They are in library form but should
work on most Linux machines.  The Reflex 72 seems to work with most cards -
I have not yet tested T=1 (I didn't write this driver) but seems to have
problems with the Cyberflex Access card.

The SCM-RS110 works fine on all cards in the PC/SC test suite except the
AMMI card.

The American Biometric's CardDrive reader driver is also posted on the web
site.

And another coming soon is the Utimaco serial reader driver which should
work with the standard, plus, and their keyboard version

I'm going to do some work on pcsc-lite this next week such as Case 4
commands in T=1 and deprecation of SCardReadMemory and SCardWriteMemory and
addition of memory card support through MCT specs.

Let me know if there is anything else I can add.

Dave

Re: MUSCLE Chipdrive Mobile?

2000-03-09 Thread David Corcoran

Hi Jim,

The ChipDrive mobile should be a pretty neat unit.  It currently only
supports i2c memory cards I believe but they are working on a version that
will work with CPU cards.  There is an onboard irda.  There also exists a
compiler that allows you to write programs for the ChipDrive mobile for
Windows but I think the docs are still in German.  Axel from Towitoko might
be able to help you out a bit more.  I have a couple here and some demo
cards for German health cards.  They are really nice devices.
