* Package name : opencard-framework Version : 1.4.148 Upstream Author : CardContact * URL : https://www.openscdp.org/ocf/ * License : OPEN CARD CONSORTIUM SOURCE LICENSE Programming Lang: Java Package source : https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/opencard-framework/ Description: smart card middleware implemented in Java The OpenCard Framework (OCF) is a smart card middleware implemented in Java. The framework allows a smart card aware application to access contact and contactless cards that implement commands using Application Protocol Data Units (APDUs) as defined by ISO/IEC 7816-4, -8 and -9. . The OpenCard Framework was originally defined by the OpenCard Consortium, but mainly driven by IBM and Gemplus. The work ended with version 1.2 of the specification and a reference implementation by IBM. The consortium split up and left the OpenCard Framework in a dormant state. The website was still available until 2007 and is now shut down. The original code was transferred the a project on SourceForge, but never actively maintained. . A number of projects are still using OCF, including the OpenSCDP project. . The version of OCF maintained by the OpenSCDP projects is based on the last version of the reference implementation. It contains some bug-fixes and minor modifications to the original code and a generic card service to access smart cards with an ISO 7816-4 file system. Such a generic service was missing from the original code and rendered it pretty much useless for any serious application. . This distribution of OCF contains the base-core, base-opt and pcsc components, but does not include the reference implementation for the IBM MFC and special Gemplus terminals. It includes support for card readers using the CT-API interface. . If you are new to OCF, then a suggested starting point is the programmer's guide.
