What Is Libchipcard ?

Libchipcard is a library for easy access to smart cards. It is written in C++ and should therefore work on most Unix-like platforms, and it also works under WIN32.

What Does Libchipcard Need ?

It needs

• card reader terminal supported by your operating system
• a driver for that reader (called CTAPI). The homepage of libchipcard provides a list of links to drivers for some readers.
• OpenSSL: This is needed for encryption of data on a smart card using the CTCardFS and for encryption of traffic between client and server.

What Is Recommended ?

Libchipcard works best when the following packages are provided:

• QT/KDE: Libchipcard provides some KDE-tools. You will need KDE and QT in order to use them. KDE/QT 2 and 3 are supported.
