place the "Known problems" near the affected reader and not in a
independent section for clarification
1 USB CCID IFD Handler
2 ====================
3
4 This package provides the source code for a generic USB CCID
5 (Chip/Smart Card Interface Devices) driver. See [1] for the USB CCID
6 specifications from the USB working group.
7
8
9 Authors:
10 ========
11
12 - Ludovic Rousseau <ludovic.rousseau@free.fr>
13 - Carlos Prados for the PPS and ATR parsing code (taken from his
14 towitoto driver) in towitoko/ directory.
15 - Olaf Kirch for the T=1 TPDU code (from the OpenCT package) in openct/
16 directory. I (Ludovic Rousseau) greatly improved this code.
17
18
19 Supported CCID readers:
20 =======================
21
22 (in alphabetical order)
23 - Cherry XX33 keyboard [?]
24 - Dell keyboard SK-3106 [?]
25 - Dell smart card reader keyboard [?]
26 - Gemplus GemPC 433 SL [2]
27 - Gemplus GemPC Key [3]
28 - Gemplus GemPC Twin [4]
29 - OmniKey CardMan 3121 [5]
30
31
32 Should work but untested by me:
33 ===============================
34
35 I would like to get these readers to perform test and validation and
36 move them in the supported list above. If you are one of the
37 manufacturers, please, contact me.
38
39 - ActivCard USB reader 2.0 [10]
40 - C3PO LTC32 [13]
41 - SCM Micro SCR 331-DI [11]
42 - SCM Micro SCR 333 [15]
43 - Silitek SK-3105 keyboard [12] or C3PO TLTC2USB [14]
44
45
46 Unsupported or partly supported CCID readers:
47 =============================================
48
49 - Advanced Card Systems ACR 38 [16]
50 - SCM Micro SCR 335 [7]
51 - SCM Micro SCR 331 [6]
52 - SCM Micro SPR 532 [9]
53 These readers do timeout when a special USB frame is sent from the
54 reader. If the frame size if a multiple of wMaxPacketSize the
55 communication is stopped. You should contact the reader vendor to
56 upgrade the firmware of the reader or replace the reader.
57
58 - C3PO LTC31 [8]
59 The reader works fine with Linux kernel 2.4 but does not with Linux
60 kernel 2.6. The ioctl() syscall returns EINVAL (Invalid argument)
61
62
63 Supported operating systems:
64 ============================
65
66 - GNU/Linux (libusb 0.1.7)
67 - MacOS X/Darwin (libusb 0.1.8beta, CVS snapshot. See "Known problems")
68 to libusb)
69
70
71 Debug informations:
72 ===================
73
74 The driver uses the debug function provided by pcscd. So if pcscd sends
75 its debug to stdout (pcscd --foreground) then the CCID will also send
76 its debug to stdout. If pcscd sends its debug to syslog (by default)
77 then the CCID will also send its debug to syslog.
78
79 You can change the debug level using the Info.plist configuraion file.
80 The Info.plist is installed, by default, in
81 /usr/local/pcsc/drivers/ifd-ccid.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
82
83 The debug level is set in the ifdLogLevel field. It is a binary OR
84 combinaison of 4 different levels.
85 - 1: critical: important error messages
86 - 2: info: informative messages like what reader was detected
87 - 4: periodic: periodic info when pcscd test if a card is present (every
88 1/10 of a second)
89 - 8: comm: a dump of all the bytes exchanged between the host and the
90 reader
91
92 By default the debug level is set to 3 (1 + 2) and correspond to the
93 critical and info levels.
94
95 You have to restart the driver so it read the configuration file again
96 and use the new debug level value. To restart the driver you just need
97 to unplug all your CCID readers so the the driver is unloaded and then
98 replug your readers. You can also restart pcscd.
99
100
101 Known problems:
102 ===============
103
104 MacOSX libusb
105 """""""""""""
106 There is a bug in libusb that crash the libusb library when you
107 unplug a reader and replug it in another USB socket. So if you
108 unplug a reader replug it in the same USB socket.

131 History:
132 ========
133
134 0.9.1 - 1 July 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
135 - I forgot to define IFD_PARITY_ERROR in a .h file
136
137 0.9.0 - 1 July 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
138 - The T=1 TPDU automata from Carlos Prados' Towitoko driver is very
139 limited and do not support error management mechanisms.
140 I then used the T=1 TPDU automata from OpenCT (OpenSC project).
141 This automata is much more powerful but still lacks a lot of error
142 management code.
143 I then added all the needed code to reach the quality level
144 requested by the EMV standard.
145 - add support for new readers:
146 . Advanced Card Systems ACR 38
147 . Cherry XX33
148 . Dell keyboard SK-3106
149 . Dell smart card reader keyboard
150 . SCR 333
151 - add support of multi procotol cards (T=0 and T=1)
152 - the debug level is now dynamic and set in the Info.plist file (no
153 need to recompile the driver any more)
154 - add support for the libusb naming scheme: usb:%04x/%04x:libusb:%s
155 - INSTALL: add a "configuring the driver for the serial reader
156 (GemPC Twin)" part
157 - use `pkg-config libpcsclite --variable=usbdropdir` so you do not
158 have to use --enable-usbdropdir=DIR or --enable-ccidtwindir=DIR
159 even if pcscd does not use the default /usr/local/pcsc/drivers
160 - add support of IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_IFD_EXCHANGE and
161 IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_VERIFY_PIN in IFDHControl()
162 - read ifdDriverOptions from Info.plist to limit the use of
163 IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_IFD_EXCHANGE (idea from Peter Williams)
164 - provide an example of use of SCardControl()
165 IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_IFD_EXCHANGE and
166 IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_VERIFY_PIN in example/
167 - add a --enable-pcsclite option (default to yes) so that the driver
168 can be compiled for a different framework (one needing
169 tokenparser.l like Solaris)
170 - Reset action is power off and power on, not just power on
171 - use the include files from pcsc-lite
172 - add a mechanism to allow power on at 1.8V, 3V and then 5V as
173 specified by ISO 7816. We still use 5V for now to avoid problems
174 with non ISO compliant cards
175
176
177 0.4.1 - 14 February 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
178 - distribute missing files readers/supported_readers.txt and
179 src/create_Info_plist.pl
180 'make install' failed because of this.
181
182 0.4.0 - 13 February 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
183 - support of T=1 with TPDU readers. A lot of the T=1 code comes from
184 Carlos Prados towitoko driver.
185 My code is GNU GPL, his code is GNU LGPL so the global driver is
186 GNU GPL
187 - PPS negotiation if the reader does not do it automatically
188 - add support for the Silitek SK-3105 keyboard. It's a USB device
189 with multiple interfaces
190 - use the create_Info_plist.pl script to generate the installed
191 Info.plist from an Info.plist template and a list of supported
192 readers. The Info.plist was too "complex" to maintain by hand
193 since it now contains 11 entries
194 - add support of IFDHCreateChannelByName to avoid wrong reader
195 enumeration. This is not complete if you have multiple _identical_
196 readers. You need to use a > 1.2.0 pcsc-lite version (not yet
197 released at that time)
198 - build but do not install the serial ccidtwin driver by default
199 since it is useless on computers without a serial port or without
200 this reader for example.
201 - read and write timeouts are not symmetric. write timout can be
202 shorter since the reader and card is not supposed to do anything
203 before receiving (write) a command
204 - do not try to find usb.h and other libusb files if
205 --disable-libusb is used. Needed if you only want to build the
206 serial driver. Thanks to Niki Waibel for the patch
207 - add a --enable-ccidtwindir argument to ./configure to specify the
208 serial GemPC Twin installation directory
209 - debug and code improvements and simplifications
210
211 0.3.2 - 4 November 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
212 - src/commands.c: correct a stupid bug that occurs with an APDU with
213 2 bytes response.
214 - Info.plist: add SPR 532 in list of supported readers
215 - parse.c: do not exit if the InterfaceClass is 0xFF (proprietary).
216 It is the case with old readers manufactured before the final
217 release of the CCID specs.
218 - move LTC31 reader from unsupported to supported reader list. It
219 was my f ault since in used odd INS byte in my test applet and odd
220 INS bytes are forbidden by ISO 7816-4 ch. 5.4.2 Instruction byte.
221 Thanks to Josep Moné s Teixidor for pointing the problem.
222 - src/commands.c: comment out the automatic GET RESPONSE part. I
223 don't think it should be in the driver. Maybe in pcscd instead?
224
225 0.3.1 - 23 September 2003, Ludovic Rouseau
226 - add --enable-multi-thread (enabled by default) for thread safe
227 support an APDU multiplexing. You will need pcsc-lite-1.2.0-rc3 or
228 above to use this feature.
229 - add --enable-libusb=PATH option is your libusb is not installed in
230 /usr or /usr/local
231 - honor DESTDIR in install rules (closes [ #300110 ]). Thanks to
232 Ville Skyttä for the patch.
233 - src/ccid.c: do not switch the GemPC Key and GemPC Twin in APDU
234 mode since it also swicth in EMV mode and may not work with non
235 EMV cards
236 - src/ccid_serial.c: complete reimplementation of the Twin serial
237 protocol using a finite state automata (code much simpler)
238
239 0.3.0 - 10 September 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
240 - support of GemPC Twin connected to a serial port. Thanks to Niki
241 W. Waibel for a working prototype.
242 - support of auto voltage at power up if the reader support it
243 instead of forcing a 5V in all cases.
244 - support of APDU mode instead of just TPDU if the reader support
245 it. Thanks to Jean-Luc Giraud for the idea and inspiration I got
246 from his "concurrent" driver.
247 - support of "time request" from the card.
248 - parse: new indentation for more readability of supported features.
249 - switch the GemPC Key and GemPC Twin in APDU mode since they
250 support it but do not announce it in the dwFeatures.
251 - new build process using autoconf/automake.
252
253 0.2.0 - 26 August 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
254 - Works under MacOS X
255 - Info.plist: use an <array></array> for the alias enumeration
256 - Makefile rework for *BSD and MacOS X
257
258 0.1.0 - 13 August 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
259 - First public release
