The Independent Smartcard Developer Association, the only non-vendor controlled smartcard related industry organization, announces their latest release of SIO/STEST.
SIO/STEST is a developer toolkit that provides drivers for most popular smartcard readers as well as card support for a wide range of crypto capable smartcards. SIO/STEST provides the tools required by the application programmer to integrate smartcards with their application.
As always, your feedback is appreciated.
Is this for a "cypherpunks" smartcard, or for hacking them?
Smartcards tend to be transponders, and to want to gobble up all other cards...bad card, bad card.
[ Excerpt from the Cryptography Manifesto snipped ]
They'll say hey, you've already surrendered your biometric number during fingerprinting for driver's licenses.
It will be too late.
The high-tech American Leviathan will be in place.
All the more reason to distribute information on how to read from and write to the cards. -- Marshall Marshall Clow Adobe Systems <mailto:mclow@mailhost2.csusm.edu> Warning: Objects in calendar are closer than they appear.
