Package it.trento.comune.j4sign.pcsc Description

Classes for detecting smart cards and smart card readers via the PCSC interface.

This package is an attempt to make j4sign to operate seamlessly with PKCS#11 tokens provided by different italian Certification Authorities;
The PCSCHelper class tries to detect token readers and tokens, proposing, if possible, a candidate criptoki. (The criptoki is the native library implementing the PKCS#11 standard).
PCSCHelper uses the OpenCard PCSC JNI wrapper.

The obvious prerequisite is a working PCSC layer; this is usually true if a smart card reader has been succesfully installed on the system.
