Hi,
You are right, the driver for the Reflex 20 does not yet exist but there
are listners on this mailing list that might know the answer if anyone is
working on this ......
The driver for the 72 actually is done and I have it and it will be
distributed in object form once I get the OK from the Schlumberger guys.
If you have an immediate need for it, I have been giving it out on a case
by case basis requesting that you don't ask Schlumberger for technical
help on it.
I'm done here at Apple and I am going to take a few days off (Mon-Thurs)
of next week to visit with family/friends/etc. Here is the state of the
progress here:
1) Smartcard resource manager that supports hot pluggable devices
2) Extended GetStatusChange to wait for any event (reader insertion)
(iKey insertion)
3) Started to play with Mach IPC on OSX for greater security.
I will probably go to SecurRPC on the other machines.
I don't know if any of you had a chance to attend Apple Developer
Converence but the infrastructure is like the following:
Applications:
|
|
CSSM (CDSA)
/ | \
CDSA CSP Plugin (crypto support for cards/buttons/ikeys)
|
PC/SC API
The PC/SC API will also be available for other applications and for the
OCF bridge. So any security aware application that sits on CDSA will
have access to the smartcard/crypto device with no knowledge of
smartcards or crypto devices. Obviously there are some existing
applications that will use this.
I have to be a bit more picky on the USB drivers since the resource
manager supports up to 256 simultaneous readers of the same or different
type on the USB bus. It is important that the driver is not just going
through the USB interface list and finding the first match of manu +
device id.
Has anyone seen any ongoing work to try and identify these cards ? I had
mixed feelings when I discussed the idea of having 6 historical bytes set
aside for manu id + prod id + app id. USB, PCI devices have been doing
this for years. We would like to be able to have someone put in a card,
look at those bytes and go to the internet to download a CSP for it
automatically (the Apple way). We might just have this for the
manufacturers that would adopt this.
Well, I'm back to school in a week for my last semester - I'll still be
working on this stuff .......
Best Regards,
Dave
