The PC/SC API also called WinSCard can be used from a large variety of languages. I will start a serie of blogs to present the same program (functionnally) but using different languages.
Languages:
If you know a wrapper for a language not listed above please contact me.
Program
The program shall do:
- connect to the first found smart card reader
- send APDU:
00 A4 04 00 0A A0 00 00 00 62 03 01 0C 06 01
- display result
- send APDU:
00 00 00 00
- display result
The first APDU is a SELECT command to select a test applet. The second command is the only command known by the applet.
Smart card Applet
The applet only knows one command and returns
Hello world! (yes, it is a test applet). It was described in a French magazine
GNU/Linux Magazine HS n°39.
