IntroductionPC/SC 1.0 is an architecture that defines an interface between smart card readers and a resource manager. Thespecification includes a description of the general-purpose interface as well as card authorization, PIN verification, fileaccess and cryptographic services. However, PC/SC defines only the interface for access of MCU (asynchronized) smartcards. In order to use a memory (synchronized) smart card, vendor-specific implementation that makes use of theextension on the PC/SC specification is required.There are tow implementations of PC/SC namely, the WinSCard API provided by Microsoft under Windows and the“PC/SC Lite” provided by MUSCLE project under Linux. The support routines described in this reference manual iscompatible with the Microsoft implementation only.
