At our university (in our practicum-group of the faculty
InformationTechnology and Systems) we bought an external Towitoko
cardreader and we (I) try to let it work under Linux.
With the one-and-only and very small (C) example-program I can let the
reader react a little, detect or there is a card in the reader etc. Of
course I use the CT-API driver from the (german) Towitoko site.
But I'm still looking how I can read the names, studentnumber etc from our
(student and staff) campuscard.
I like to make an automatic subscribe system for our practicums:
put your card in the reader and the system generate an account name,
password, home directory on the server etc. So we only like to read
existing cards!
I don't like to reset this system several times a day, so I like to let it
run under Linux (sounds familiar?)
I subscribed on this site to let me informed about everything over the
cardreaders, but I see a lot of strange abbreviations.
So this are the questions:
- Is there a good starters tutorial for working with this cardreaders
(under linux)
- are there somewhere C-programmed examples
- is there documentation about all the possible commands in a readable lay-out
- are there interesting internet-sites about the use of this cardreader
under Linux.
>Nope. Shouldn't make any difference what the reader's OS is, as
>the card uses standard 7816 commands to run the crypto functions.
- is there somewhere (on internet?) an overview of this commands?
Let me stop for this moment.
Who likes to react?
