Ah, so I shouldn't be too surprised that even with the version 0.2 drivers
(thanks, Christophe Muller) and the better-working GCR410, the
FileUtilityServices.eraseCard() method doesn't work?
Actually, I have two problems now. First, selecting MF(:3F00) doesn't work
and secondly, erasing the card returns the error code 6B90. I'll go look for
documentation of these codes in a minute. The former just shows up as an
[EMERGENCY] message, but the second kills the GPKTest program.
Just in case anyone cares, here is my setup:
IBM ThinkPad running linux
IBM jdk1.3.0, Sun jdk1.2.2 and Sun jdk1.3.0-beta
GCR-410 Reader
GemSafe Enterprise cards
One thought that just crossed my mind is that the Enterprise cards might be
somehow set up in an odd way, so that they can't be erased and the file
MF(:3F00) doesn't exist? Apparently our local dealer is having plain
GPK-8000 cards sent over from France, but I don't know if there is any
difference. I'll find out in a couple of days.
So that you guys can be free of my questions, is there any available general
documentation of the security services in opencard? I have "Smart Card
Application Development in Java" by Hansmann, Nicklous, Schack and Seliger
which very conveniently comes with a card which doesn't support signing and
where they draw a UML diagram of a couple of interfaces that, on their own,
don't do anything. Are there books or on-line docs that explain how to
obtain key references and what to do with them once you have them?
How much of this can be done in a card-independent manner and how much
must be done through the card specific classes?
Thanks again,
Logi
