This is a package of routines for talking to ISO 7816 smart cards. The source is divided into an OS independent part (scrw.c) and an OS dependent part (scio.c). There are two versions of the OS dependent part, scio.c for Unix and scioNT.c for NT. The NT version is not complete, but will work with the sample applications.

This package currently only supports non-inverted (TS=3b), T=0 protocol, with default timings (WI=10, D=1, 9600 bps with 3.58 MHz clock).

Two sample applications are included with this package.

'lewis' is used with a dumb card reader to send commands to a smartcard. 'clark' emulates a smartcard. You need an inverse reader to use 'clark'.

There is also a gif file, sleonschem.gif, that contains a schematic of the circuit we use for our inverse reader.

For more information about smartcard research at the University of Michigan CITI, see our web page at http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/sinciti/smartcard/.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
int scopen(int ttyn, int flags, int *ep);

Open a connection to a smart card via serial port number 'ttyn'.  Ports are
numbered from 0, which corresponds to /dev/tty00 on unix.  Use flag SCODSR
if your reader, like ours, uses DSR to indicate that a card is present, else
use SCODCD.  'ep' points to an int in which an error code is returned (see
scrw.h).  Returns an fd or -1 on error.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
int scfdopen(int fd, int flags, int *ep);

Open a connection to a smart card given an fd already open on a serial port.
This just sets the proper port parameters (9600 bps, 8/E/1).  Returns an fd
or -1 on error.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
int screset(int fd, char *atr, int *ep);

Reset the card and return the ATR in the buffer pointed to by 'atr' if
non-NULL.  'ep' points to an int in which an error code is returned (see
scrw.h).


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
int scclose(int fd);

Close a connection to a smart card, and reset the port parameters.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
int scread(int fd, int cla, int ins, int p1, int p2, int p3, char *buf, int *sw1p, int *sw2p);

Issue an "OUT" command to a smart card and read the resulting data.

cla: application class
ins: instruction code
p1, p2: per 7816-3 or application dependent
p3: length of data
buf: return data read from card
sw1p, sw2p: pointers to ints in which SW1 and SW2 are returned

Returns the number of bytes actually read, or -1 on error.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
int scwrite(int fd, int cla, int ins, int p1, int p2, int p3, char *buf, int *sw1p, int *sw2p);

Issue an "IN" command to a smart card and write some data.

cla: application class
ins: instruction code
p1, p2: per 7816-3 or application dependent
p3: length of data
buf: data to write to card
sw1p, sw2p: pointers to ints in which SW1 and SW2 are returned

Returns the number of bytes actually written, or -1 on error.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
int scdsr(int fd);

Return the state of DSR, which usually indicates whether a card is present.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
int scdtr(int fd, int cmd);

Raise or lower DTR depending on whether 'cmd' is 1 or 0.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
int scgetc(int fd, char *cp, int ms);

Get one byte from the card into buffer pointed to by 'cp'.  Time out after
'ms' milliseconds.  'ms' can be 0 for poll or -1 for infinite.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
int scputc(int fd, int ic);

Put one byte to the card.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
void scsleep(int ms);

Delay for 'ms' milliseconds.
