Standard Documents

Smart cards are defined in ISO 7816 standards. You need to buy those from ISO, but some pages have overviews on what is in those standards.

The PC/SC Workgroup defines the PC/SC standard that is used on Windows, but thanks to the PC/SC-Lite software also available on Linux, Mac OS X and BSD. You can download all parts of the specification.

The Multi-functional Card Terminal specification suite includes CT-API and its co-specification CT-BCS. The whole suite is available for download in German .

Software

The M.U.S.C.L.E. project offers the open source software PC/SC-Lite and links to many drivers in ifdhandler format, and also to some applications.

Some drivers in CT-API format are available for download at Gregor’s CT-API-Page.

OpenSC is a software to use cryptographic smart cards on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. Developed by the same team as OpenCT.
