Hello All,
Please pardon me asking a rudimentary question on this
list, but, I think that the answers to these questions will be really
helpful.
1) How does a Card Reader identify and invoke multiple applications that
exist on the Card. For e.g. I have a VISA and a Master application
loaded on the smart card. Also, I have my Medical Subscription on the
same card. When I move to the Merchant for paying for the transaction
how does the Smart Card Reader invoke the Master and/or the Visa Card
application?
Is it, that a particular Card Reader will be configured for a particular
application only. i.e. the Card Reader at the Merchants place is
configured to access the VISA Card only, so that it SELECT's the VISA
Application with the AID that it is aware of . If yes, then what happens
when the Card reader is configured to accept both the VISA and the MC
card - How can the Card Holder tell the merchant what card he wants to
use??
2) How can new applications be loaded on the Card , i.e does the Card
Manufacturer again come into the loop OR can this be done
programatically?? Are any changes required at the card reader if it has
to accept a new application. How is the Card reader programmed??
Please pardon me if i have directed these questions to the wrong list.
Thanks for your time..
