</div>Well, the thing is that Solid as a library should support features that<br>
are needed by more than one application, and so far nobody is using<br>
SmartCardReader api (since it never worked).<br>
<br>
But since we're providing the interface I'm willing to implement it but<br>
I need some info + maybe hardware.<br><br></blockquote><br><div><br>There are two projects that aim support smart cards. There is MUSCLE which is an acronym for Movement for the Use of Smart Cards in a Linux Environment and can be found at <a href="http://www.musclecard.com/index.html">http://www.musclecard.com/index.html</a>. There is also OpenSC which can be found at <a href="http://www.opensc-project.org/opensc">http://www.opensc-project.org/opensc</a>. Both these projects could support smart card integration into solid.<br>
<br>The only property that's currently supported is the reader type (Card Reader or Crypto Token) as this was all Hal was going to provide.<br><br>One use case I see is KDM where you can logon by inserting your card and typing your pin. This would require additions to the interface such as:<br>
bool SmartCardReader::isCardInserted() const;<br>signal SmartCardReader::cardInserted();<br><br>If you're feeling so bold I would be happy to help test with my reader (although I'll have to find my smartcard).<br>
