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

140 History:
141 ========
142
143 0.9.2 - 15 August 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
144 - T=1 TPDU code:
145 . the work on T=1 TPDU code was possible thanks to Gemplus
146 validation team who helped me test, debug and bring the code to
147 an EMV validation level. Thanks to Jérôme, Jean-Yves, Xavier and
148 the Gemplus readers department
149 . error code was not checked correctly
150 . avoid a (nearly) infinite loop when resynch are needed.
151 . correctly initialise an internal value to allow more than one
152 reader to work
153 - multi-slots readers
154 . add support for multi-slots readers. The only one I have is a
155 SCM Micro SCR 331-DI with a contact and a contactless interface.
156 The contactless interface may or may not work for you since the
157 reader uses proprietary (undocumented) commands.
158 - GemPC Twin serial reader
159 . perform a command (get the reader firmware) to be sure a GemPC
160 Twin (serial or pcmcia) reader is connected
161 . use a dynamic timeout when reading the serial port.
162 The first timeout used when detecting the reader is 2 seconds to
163 not wait too long if no reader is connected. Later timeouts are
164 set to 1 minute to allow long time APDU.
165 - use `pkg-config libpcsclite --cflags` to locate the pcsc-lite
166 header files
167 - use `pkg-config --print-errors --atleast-version=1.2.9-beta5 libpcsclite`
168 to test the pcsc-lite version
169 - code improvements thanks to the splint tool (http://www.splint.org/)
170
171 0.9.1 - 1 July 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
172 - I forgot to define IFD_PARITY_ERROR in a .h file
173
174 0.9.0 - 1 July 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
175 - The T=1 TPDU automata from Carlos Prados' Towitoko driver is very
176 limited and do not support error management mechanisms.
177 I then used the T=1 TPDU automata from OpenCT (OpenSC project).
178 This automata is much more powerful but still lacks a lot of error
179 management code.
180 I then added all the needed code to reach the quality level
181 requested by the EMV standard.
182 - add support for new readers:
183 . Advanced Card Systems ACR 38
184 . Cherry XX33
185 . Dell keyboard SK-3106
186 . Dell smart card reader keyboard
187 . SCR 333
188 - add support of multi procotol cards (T=0 and T=1)
189 - the debug level is now dynamic and set in the Info.plist file (no
190 need to recompile the driver any more)
191 - add support for the libusb naming scheme: usb:%04x/%04x:libusb:%s
192 - INSTALL: add a "configuring the driver for the serial reader
193 (GemPC Twin)" part
194 - use `pkg-config libpcsclite --variable=usbdropdir` so you do not
195 have to use --enable-usbdropdir=DIR or --enable-ccidtwindir=DIR
196 even if pcscd does not use the default /usr/local/pcsc/drivers
197 - add support of IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_IFD_EXCHANGE and
198 IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_VERIFY_PIN in IFDHControl()
199 - read ifdDriverOptions from Info.plist to limit the use of
200 IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_IFD_EXCHANGE (idea from Peter Williams)
201 - provide an example of use of SCardControl()
202 IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_IFD_EXCHANGE and
203 IOCTL_SMARTCARD_VENDOR_VERIFY_PIN in example/
204 - add a --enable-pcsclite option (default to yes) so that the driver
205 can be compiled for a different framework (one needing
206 tokenparser.l like Solaris)
207 - Reset action is power off and power on, not just power on
208 - use the include files from pcsc-lite
209 - add a mechanism to allow power on at 1.8V, 3V and then 5V as
210 specified by ISO 7816. We still use 5V for now to avoid problems
211 with non ISO compliant cards
212
213 0.4.1 - 14 February 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
214 - distribute missing files readers/supported_readers.txt and
215 src/create_Info_plist.pl
216 'make install' failed because of this.
217
218 0.4.0 - 13 February 2004, Ludovic Rousseau
219 - support of T=1 with TPDU readers. A lot of the T=1 code comes from
220 Carlos Prados towitoko driver.
221 My code is GNU GPL, his code is GNU LGPL so the global driver is
222 GNU GPL
223 - PPS negotiation if the reader does not do it automatically
224 - add support for the Silitek SK-3105 keyboard. It's a USB device
225 with multiple interfaces
226 - use the create_Info_plist.pl script to generate the installed
227 Info.plist from an Info.plist template and a list of supported
228 readers. The Info.plist was too "complex" to maintain by hand
229 since it now contains 11 entries
230 - add support of IFDHCreateChannelByName to avoid wrong reader
231 enumeration. This is not complete if you have multiple _identical_
232 readers. You need to use a > 1.2.0 pcsc-lite version (not yet
233 released at that time)
234 - build but do not install the serial ccidtwin driver by default
235 since it is useless on computers without a serial port or without
236 this reader for example.
237 - read and write timeouts are not symmetric. write timout can be
238 shorter since the reader and card is not supposed to do anything
239 before receiving (write) a command
240 - do not try to find usb.h and other libusb files if
241 --disable-libusb is used. Needed if you only want to build the
242 serial driver. Thanks to Niki Waibel for the patch
243 - add a --enable-ccidtwindir argument to ./configure to specify the
244 serial GemPC Twin installation directory
245 - debug and code improvements and simplifications
246
247 0.3.2 - 4 November 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
248 - src/commands.c: correct a stupid bug that occurs with an APDU with
249 2 bytes response.
250 - Info.plist: add SPR 532 in list of supported readers
251 - parse.c: do not exit if the InterfaceClass is 0xFF (proprietary).
252 It is the case with old readers manufactured before the final
253 release of the CCID specs.
254 - move LTC31 reader from unsupported to supported reader list. It
255 was my f ault since in used odd INS byte in my test applet and odd
256 INS bytes are forbidden by ISO 7816-4 ch. 5.4.2 Instruction byte.
257 Thanks to Josep Moné s Teixidor for pointing the problem.
258 - src/commands.c: comment out the automatic GET RESPONSE part. I
259 don't think it should be in the driver. Maybe in pcscd instead?
260
261 0.3.1 - 23 September 2003, Ludovic Rouseau
262 - add --enable-multi-thread (enabled by default) for thread safe
263 support an APDU multiplexing. You will need pcsc-lite-1.2.0-rc3 or
264 above to use this feature.
265 - add --enable-libusb=PATH option is your libusb is not installed in
266 /usr or /usr/local
267 - honor DESTDIR in install rules (closes [ #300110 ]). Thanks to
268 Ville Skyttä for the patch.
269 - src/ccid.c: do not switch the GemPC Key and GemPC Twin in APDU
270 mode since it also swicth in EMV mode and may not work with non
271 EMV cards
272 - src/ccid_serial.c: complete reimplementation of the Twin serial
273 protocol using a finite state automata (code much simpler)
274
275 0.3.0 - 10 September 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
276 - support of GemPC Twin connected to a serial port. Thanks to Niki
277 W. Waibel for a working prototype.
278 - support of auto voltage at power up if the reader support it
279 instead of forcing a 5V in all cases.
280 - support of APDU mode instead of just TPDU if the reader support
281 it. Thanks to Jean-Luc Giraud for the idea and inspiration I got
282 from his "concurrent" driver.
283 - support of "time request" from the card.
284 - parse: new indentation for more readability of supported features.
285 - switch the GemPC Key and GemPC Twin in APDU mode since they
286 support it but do not announce it in the dwFeatures.
287 - new build process using autoconf/automake.
288
289 0.2.0 - 26 August 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
290 - Works under MacOS X
291 - Info.plist: use an <array></array> for the alias enumeration
292 - Makefile rework for *BSD and MacOS X
293
294 0.1.0 - 13 August 2003, Ludovic Rousseau
295 - First public release
