MUSCLE GPR400 ifd and T=0 vs T=1 from the driver perspective

2001-08-01 Thread Joe Phillips


I've got a mostly working GPR400 PCSC IFD.  It's based on the PCMCIA
driver found in the card-0.9.6.tar.gz file found on the MUSCLE website.

By 'mostly working' I mean that I've used formaticc to send a few APDUs
to a card and received the expected results.

I'm having troubles understanding what the differences are between T=0
and T=1 from the IFD developer perspective.  It's not apparent to me
from looking through the other IFD source files.

I have the Smart Card Developer's Kit and Java Card Technology for Smart
Cards books already.  I understand that T=0 and T=1 are two different
protocols for communication between the reader and the card.  It is not
clear to me *how* they are different other than one is byte oriented
and the other is block oriented.

Can anyone offer any insight into the differences, if possible, from the
IFD developer perspective?  Can you point me to some documentation
and/or code that will clear this up for me?

Thanks in advance.

Re: MUSCLE PKCS#11 and Cyberflex on Linux?

2001-01-22 Thread Joe Phillips

I had run across this some time ago.  a search for 'gpkcs' on google turned
this site up:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gpkcs-11/gpkcs-11.html

here is the google results page:
http://www.google.com/search?q=gpkcs

NOTE: I've never used GPKCS but I'd be interested in hearing about results.

 Hi All,
 
 I have a java application that uses the Cyberflex Card.  The card is used to
 perform cryptographic functions.  The application was developed on Windows
 (for Windows) using the Cyberflex Access SDK.  The crypto function are
 accessed using the PKCS#11 interface provided by the SDK.
 
 I need to port this application to Linux.  The PC/SC-Lite gives me access to
 the card, but I need a PKCS#11 library for Cyberflex that runs on Linux.
 Does such a library exist? If yes, where can I find it.  If no, how could I
 provide smart card support to my application?
 
 Thank you,
 
 Julien Marcil

 The linux sdk was there two weeks ago, but now I can't find it.  Maybe it
 has been removed now that Danny is gone.  You can put most of it together
 yourself except for mksolo and the class files.  The Readme is still there
 and describes what was in the sdk:
 
 http://www.cyberflex.slb.com/Support/cyberflex_linux_readme.html

I found these the other day after poking around some.  

so anyway, don't I *need* mksolo  related classes in order to build
cardlets with the Cyberflex Access 00 cards?

thanks for responding so quickly.
