CCID drivers on the Snow Leopard
by Wang Yongqing 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

Hi, I have got the Snow Leopard OS on my Macbook and want to use the CCID driver on it. But when I plug-in the reader, there is no any information. So I cancel the autostart of pcscd and run the command in the terminal: "pcscd -f". The reader can not be used and the terminal give the information "pcscd: posix_spawn: pcscd: No Such file or directory". But the reader can run successfully when I run the command "/usr/sbin/pcscd -f". So I want to know whether I must disable the autostart of pcscd if I want to use the reader on the Snow Leopard? Wait for your reply. Thank you. Best regards, Yongqing

PCSC framework 32/64-bit issue
by Martin Centner 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Hi! I'm wondering if anybody on this list has an idea what the reason for the strange behavior of the Java smartcard I/O API in 64-bit mode described below might be. Java smartcard I/O is shipped with Java SE 6.0 and above. It uses a JNI library to communicate with PCSC-Lite (a part of the SmartcardServices framework as far as I understand). When Java is running in 32-bit mode the communication between Java and pcscd seems to works fine. However, when Java is running in 64-bit mode (which is the default in Snow Leopard) the communication seems to fail somewhere between pcscd and the Java smartcard I/O. pcscd is switched to 32-bit mode as soon as a card terminal with a 32- bit driver is connected. When Java is running in 64-bit mode the JNI library libj2pcsc and pcsc-lite are also loaded in their 64-bit versions. Thus, the 33/64-bit transition takes place between pcscd and the pcsc-lite library. So I first thought, it might be a general issue of the pcsc-lite library and pcsc-deamon in a mixed 32/64-bit environment. However, testing with this very simple C program attached linking to the pcsc-lite library showed that it works fine when run in 32-bit and 64-bit mode. Running this very simple Java program attached shows different results when running in 32-bit and 64-bit mode. In 32- bit mode it finds all connected card terminals and is able to connect to inserted cards. In 64-bit mode it fails to list the card terminals and/or fails to connect to the inserted card. Any ideas? Thanks a lot, Martin

"PERFORM VERIFICATION"-APDU don't work
by Chris Hauser 28 Aug '09

28 Aug '09

Hello. I have some Card-Terminals with PinPad (Class 2 and Class 3). I try to do a PIN Verification and send a "Perform Verification"-APDU ("20 18 01 00 ...") to my Readers. It seems to me they don't reach it, because they were never be processed by the Terminals. I don't know where's the reason for that (ccid or pcsc), but please can you enable that on Mac OS X. Greetings Chris -- This e-mail is digital signed. If your e-mail-application doesn't support the verification of digital signatures, just ignore the signature-file.

by Gerald Pitchford 26 May '09

Does anyone know if it is possible to access Defense Travel System (DTS) using a smart card from a Mac? My Smart Card works fine with other DOD websites like AKO, but I can¹t access DTS.

PCSC-Lite Problem
by Karl Timmermann 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hello, I'm trying to compile a program that makes use of pcsc-lite. However, I have a few errors that seems to suggest a method and defines are not in Apple's version of pcsc-lite: 'SCardFreeMemory' was not declared in this scope 'SCARD_AUTOALLOCATE' was not declared in this scope 'SCARD_ATTR_ATR_STRING' was not declared in this scope Am I mistaken, or do they not exist in Apple's version? If they don't exist, is there any way to update Apple's version to include the needed method and defines? I've included PCSC.framework in my Xcode project and include <PCSC/winscard.h> and <PCSC/wintypes.h>. Thanks! Karl
