Hello,

Our IEEE group on campus is working on a simple access control system using 
smart cards (our final goal is to allow signons to computers as well as 
physical access to our office).  Our original design for the system was only 
able to detect the presence of a card using the Schlumberger SDK (It would 
throw an exception everytime someone tried to write the card, with the most 
recent discussion about tokens, it seems no one ever bothered to format the 
cards and they never had a plan for a framework to use).  

We've since decided to switch to linux and have looked at how we could use the 
musclecard framework to allow us to store some type of secure file on the 
card containing a member's membership details.  

Ideally we'd store a simple text file with an id, their name and their email, 
and somehow sign this file showing that it's an original and not a duplicated 
card.  When inserted into the reader we'd check the signature and then read 
the id, checking the database for the access rights and then offloading to 
our hardware circuits.  Does anyone have any resources that focus's on how to 
do what we're attempting to do or any suggestions as we attempt to do this?

Thanks,
