No this is not a question for the OCF forum instead it is a question for the W3C.

Doesn't that seem like a lot of work for someone who just wants to use a smartcard in my programs? Bringing up JavaCardCardService was a mistake (since I'm not trying to write JavaCard application, I just wanted to test if the iButton OCF classes supported the service)-- I'm interested in the SignatureCardService. I guess this really isn't a question for OCF (as it provides a framework for writing card and terminal independent applications), but more for vendor support of OCF. Am I right on that (since I'm fairly new to smart card programming)? -Chris Tom McKearney wrote: > When you're using a JavaCard (iButton basically is one), the CardServices > are written by _you_. > You write a Java Applet to run on the card.
