Greetings, I'm trying to determine what a good choice for a USB contactless card reader and card may be for a project I'm working on. The project requires that the reader be supported by a system running embedded linux and I'm having difficulty trying to understand what readers and cards may be supported and by what layer of software. I've been reading over information about PC/SC Lite, OpenSC, OpenCT, and OCF and am still trying to grasp how they all fit together or compare.
Is PC/SC Lite a competing framework to OpenSC+OpenCT? If I understand correctly OpenCT is a driver frameworks that is compatible with both PC/SC Lite and OpenSC and that PC/SC Lite and OpenSC represent middleware that would support applications and cards? In looking at the pcsc-lite CCID driver it would appear that perhaps contactless support does not exist for all the readers listed that are contactless - is this something thats not within the CCID spec or is that driver just not implementing all of the spec? Can anyone recommend a USB contactless reader that is supported by pcsc-lite or openct? Can anyone recommend a contactless card that is supported? The other thing I'm trying to understand is what utils/API I would use to access information read from a card. Ultimately I need to write an application that handles an event when a card is read and can access the data on the card. Thanks for any assistance - as you can see I'm perhaps pretty confused by the different application layers and options out there and need some clarification. Tim
