• ISO-7816

  • Standard smartcard interface
  • Primitive message framing protocol
    • Too primitive to be useful
  • Many vendor dependencies

• Smartcard programming toolkits

  • IBM MFC, Microsoft PC/SC, OpenCard framework, EMV’96, PKCS#11, JavaCard …
  • Smartcard-specific everything: language, API, toolkit, library, application, etc.

  • API dependencies
