40
41
42 Should work but untested by me:
43 ===============================
44
45 I would like to get these readers to perform test and validation and
46 move them in the supported list above. If you are one of the
47 manufacturers, please, contact me.
48
49 - Cherry XX44 keyboard (SmartBoard G83-6744) [18]
50 - ActivCard USB reader 2.0 [10]
51 - C3PO LTC32 [13]
52 - SCM Micro SCR 333 [15]
53 - Silitek SK-3105 keyboard [12] or C3PO TLTC2USB [14]
54
55
56 Unsupported or partly supported CCID readers:
57 =============================================
58
59 - Advanced Card Systems ACR 38 [16]
60 This reader do timeout when a special USB frame is sent from the
61 reader. If the frame size if a multiple of wMaxPacketSize the
62 communication is stopped. You should contact the reader vendor to
63 upgrade the firmware of the reader or replace the reader.
64
65 - C3PO LTC31 [8]
66 The reader works fine with Linux kernel 2.4 but does not with Linux
67 kernel 2.6. The ioctl() syscall returns EINVAL (Invalid argument)
68
69
70 Supported operating systems:
71 ============================
72
73 - GNU/Linux (libusb 0.1.7)
74 - MacOS X/Darwin (libusb 0.1.8beta, CVS snapshot. See "Known problems")
75 to libusb)
76
77
78 Debug informations:
79 ===================
80
81 The driver uses the debug function provided by pcscd. So if pcscd sends
82 its debug to stdout (pcscd --foreground) then the CCID will also send
83 its debug to stdout. If pcscd sends its debug to syslog (by default)
84 then the CCID will also send its debug to syslog.
85
86 You can change the debug level using the Info.plist configuraion file.
87 The Info.plist is installed, by default, in
88 /usr/local/pcsc/drivers/ifd-ccid.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
89
90 The debug level is set in the ifdLogLevel field. It is a binary OR
91 combinaison of 4 different levels.
92 - 1: critical: important error messages
93 - 2: info: informative messages like what reader was detected
94 - 4: periodic: periodic info when pcscd test if a card is present (every
95 1/10 of a second)
96 - 8: comm: a dump of all the bytes exchanged between the host and the
97 reader
98
99 By default the debug level is set to 3 (1 + 2) and correspond to the
100 critical and info levels.
101
102 You have to restart the driver so it read the configuration file again
103 and use the new debug level value. To restart the driver you just need
104 to unplug all your CCID readers so the the driver is unloaded and then
105 replug your readers. You can also restart pcscd.
106
107
108 Known problems:
109 ===============
110
111 MacOSX libusb
112 """""""""""""
113 There is a bug in libusb that crash the libusb library when you
114 unplug a reader and replug it in another USB socket. So if you
115 unplug a reader replug it in the same USB socket.

138 History:
139 ========
140
141 0.9.2 - 15 August 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
142 - T=1 TPDU code:
143 . the work on T=1 TPDU code was possible thanks to Gemplus
144 validation team who helped me test, debug and bring the code to
145 an EMV validation level. Thanks to Jérôme, Jean-Yves, Xavier and
146 the Gemplus readers department
147 . error code was not checked correctly
148 . avoid a (nearly) infinite loop when resynch are needed.
149 . correctly initialise an internal value to allow more than one
150 reader to work
151 - multi-slots readers
152 . add support for multi-slots readers. The only one I have is a
153 SCM Micro SCR 331-DI with a contact and a contactless interface.
154 The contactless interface may or may not work for you since the
155 reader uses proprietary (undocumented) commands.
156 - GemPC Twin serial reader
157 . perform a command (get the reader firmware) to be sure a GemPC
158 Twin (serial or pcmcia) reader is connected
159 . use a dynamic timeout when reading the serial port.
160 The first timeout used when detecting the reader is 2 seconds to
161 not wait too long if no reader is connected. Later timeouts are
162 set to 1 minute to allow long time APDU.
163 - use `pkg-config libpcsclite --cflags` to locate the pcsc-lite
164 header files
165 - use `pkg-config --print-errors --atleast-version=1.2.9-beta5 libpcsclite`
166 to test the pcsc-lite version
167 - code improvements thanks to the splint tool (http://www.splint.org/)
168
169 0.9.1 - 1 July 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
170 - I forgot to define IFD_PARITY_ERROR in a .h file
171
172 0.9.0 - 1 July 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
173 - The T=1 TPDU automata from Carlos Prados' Towitoko driver is very
174 limited and do not support error management mechanisms.
175 I then used the T=1 TPDU automata from OpenCT (OpenSC project).
176 This automata is much more powerful but still lacks a lot of error
177 management code.
178 I then added all the needed code to reach the quality level
179 requested by the EMV standard.
180 - add support for new readers:
181 . Advanced Card Systems ACR 38
182 . Cherry XX33
183 . Dell keyboard SK-3106
184 . Dell smart card reader keyboard
185 . SCR 333
186 - add support of multi procotol cards (T=0 and T=1)
187 - the debug level is now dynamic and set in the Info.plist file (no
188 need to recompile the driver any more)
189 - add support for the libusb naming scheme: usb:%04x/%04x:libusb:%s
190 - INSTALL: add a "configuring the driver for the serial reader
191 (GemPC Twin)" part
192 - use `pkg-config libpcsclite --variable=usbdropdir` so you do not
193 have to use --enable-usbdropdir=DIR or --enable-ccidtwindir=DIR
194 even if pcscd does not use the default /usr/local/pcsc/drivers
195 - add support of IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_IFD_EXCHANGE and
196 IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_VERIFY_PIN in IFDHControl()
197 - read ifdDriverOptions from Info.plist to limit the use of
198 IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_IFD_EXCHANGE (idea from Peter Williams)
199 - provide an example of use of SCardControl()
200 IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_IFD_EXCHANGE and
201 IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_VERIFY_PIN in example/
202 - add a --enable-pcsclite option (default to yes) so that the driver
203 can be compiled for a different framework (one needing
204 tokenparser.l like Solaris)
205 - Reset action is power off and power on, not just power on
206 - use the include files from pcsc-lite
207 - add a mechanism to allow power on at 1.8V, 3V and then 5V as
208 specified by ISO 7816. We still use 5V for now to avoid problems
209 with non ISO compliant cards
210
211 0.4.1 - 14 February 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
212 - distribute missing files readers/supported_readers.txt and
213 src/create_Info_plist.pl
214 'make install' failed because of this.
215
216 0.4.0 - 13 February 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
217 - support of T=1 with TPDU readers. A lot of the T=1 code comes from
218 Carlos Prados towitoko driver.
219 My code is GNU GPL, his code is GNU LGPL so the global driver is
220 GNU GPL
221 - PPS negotiation if the reader does not do it automatically
222 - add support for the Silitek SK-3105 keyboard. It's a USB device
223 with multiple interfaces
224 - use the create_Info_plist.pl script to generate the installed
225 Info.plist from an Info.plist template and a list of supported
226 readers. The Info.plist was too "complex" to maintain by hand
227 since it now contains 11 entries
228 - add support of IFDHCreateChannelByName to avoid wrong reader
229 enumeration. This is not complete if you have multiple _identical_
230 readers. You need to use a > 1.2.0 pcsc-lite version (not yet
231 released at that time)
232 - build but do not install the serial ccidtwin driver by default
233 since it is useless on computers without a serial port or without
234 this reader for example.
235 - read and write timeouts are not symmetric. write timout can be
236 shorter since the reader and card is not supposed to do anything
237 before receiving (write) a command
238 - do not try to find usb.h and other libusb files if
239 --disable-libusb is used. Needed if you only want to build the
240 serial driver. Thanks to Niki Waibel for the patch
241 - add a --enable-ccidtwindir argument to ./configure to specify the
242 serial GemPC Twin installation directory
243 - debug and code improvements and simplifications
244
245 0.3.2 - 4 November 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
246 - src/commands.c: correct a stupid bug that occurs with an APDU with
247 2 bytes response.
248 - Info.plist: add SPR 532 in list of supported readers
249 - parse.c: do not exit if the InterfaceClass is 0xFF (proprietary).
250 It is the case with old readers manufactured before the final
251 release of the CCID specs.
252 - move LTC31 reader from unsupported to supported reader list. It
253 was my f ault since in used odd INS byte in my test applet and odd
254 INS bytes are forbidden by ISO 7816-4 ch. 5.4.2 Instruction byte.
255 Thanks to Josep Moné s Teixidor for pointing the problem.
256 - src/commands.c: comment out the automatic GET RESPONSE part. I
257 don't think it should be in the driver. Maybe in pcscd instead?
258
259 0.3.1 - 23 September 2003, Ludovic Rouseau
260 - add --enable-multi-thread (enabled by default) for thread safe
261 support an APDU multiplexing. You will need pcsc-lite-1.2.0-rc3 or
262 above to use this feature.
263 - add --enable-libusb=PATH option is your libusb is not installed in
264 /usr or /usr/local
265 - honor DESTDIR in install rules (closes [ #300110 ]). Thanks to
266 Ville Skyttä for the patch.
267 - src/ccid.c: do not switch the GemPC Key and GemPC Twin in APDU
268 mode since it also swicth in EMV mode and may not work with non
269 EMV cards
270 - src/ccid_serial.c: complete reimplementation of the Twin serial
271 protocol using a finite state automata (code much simpler)
272
273 0.3.0 - 10 September 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
274 - support of GemPC Twin connected to a serial port. Thanks to Niki
275 W. Waibel for a working prototype.
276 - support of auto voltage at power up if the reader support it
277 instead of forcing a 5V in all cases.
278 - support of APDU mode instead of just TPDU if the reader support
279 it. Thanks to Jean-Luc Giraud for the idea and inspiration I got
280 from his "concurrent" driver.
281 - support of "time request" from the card.
282 - parse: new indentation for more readability of supported features.
283 - switch the GemPC Key and GemPC Twin in APDU mode since they
284 support it but do not announce it in the dwFeatures.
285 - new build process using autoconf/automake.
286
287 0.2.0 - 26 August 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
288 - Works under MacOS X
289 - Info.plist: use an <array></array> for the alias enumeration
290 - Makefile rework for *BSD and MacOS X
291
292 0.1.0 - 13 August 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
293 - First public release
