The people that designed both T=0 and T=1 need to be taken to the woodshed and whupped. Both are overloaded, bloated protocols that do more to serve the interests of their developers (and the nationality of their developers!) than they do to further the art and science of smartcard technology. Think about all the various reader/protocol stack bugs over the years because of the design of these stupid protocols. Sure, someone will come out of the woodwork and say something like: "but they are really really efficient on my 1-bit, 3-transistor smartcard that I designed back before the Summer Of Love!", but you know what? Who cares really? I say flush the protocol sections of ISO-7816 down the toilet and come up with a protocol that works for the 21st Century. mike _______________________________________________ Muscle mailing list [email protected] http://lists.drizzle.com/mailman/listinfo/muscle
