Is it a part of the computer? More details would be helpful, -David PS: Maybe with what you learn in this experience, you could write an up-to-date guide. I know of two devices. A smart card reader and a USB plug in smart card device (www.spyrus.com or other vendor). You have to start the Fedora smart card driver, and then use the smart card interface software that comes with the card, or you have to write your own. The one I use is the USB device (with windows). An API was written to interface to the device. One has a protocol to respect. The actual communication with the card is via the Fedora interface. |
