OCF and JavaCard are two very different beasts. JavaCard is a card operating system allowing you to write and load card applets using a subset of the Java language. OCF is an off card framework which allows you to communicate with smartcards. The implementation we currently have is written in Java. It can communicate directly with card readers (if the manufacturer has provided the correct OCF terminal class) or it can communicate with readers via PC/SC (using a PC/SC wrapper terminal). The operating system on the card doesn't really matter. JavaCard is supported by Sun and most of the major card manufacturers have JavaCard cards. OCF is open source (i.e. you get the code) although development of it is in limbo a bit but there has been recent discussions of moving it to a location more friendly to updating. cheers --- > Visit the OpenCard web site at http://www.opencard.org/ for more > information on OpenCard---binaries, source code, documents. > This list is being archived at http://www.opencard.org/archive/opencard/ !
