Hello, I wanted to give you an update on what is happenning:
Currently pcsc-lite works on most Unix platforms and Mac OS X. It has been fully validated and was released version 1.0.1 The Musclecard client side framework is now pluggable, so any card service provider which fits the API can be loaded dynamically using the card.conf method of loading like in ssp-lite. We are working on a Cryptoflex plugin which works fairly nice in this API. I can use XCardII with multiple readers, with Cryptoflex and with the applet on a javacard. It works seamlessly and automatically recognizes cards. The initial release will probably be made in about 2 weeks with future releases including capability of checking plugin digital signatures. If you are interested in a pre-release, let me know and I'll pull a copy from CVS. This framework will work on any pcsc supported platform. I encourage you too write drivers for cards to the client side API. In fact an i2c driver would fit nicely into it's object approach..... I'll keep you up to date.
