sc-hsm-embedded
===============

Light-weight CT-API and PKCS#11 library for using the SmartCard-HSM
in embedded systems

Purpose
-------
This module has been developed for facilitate the integration of a
SmartCard-HSM in embedded systems with a little footprint. Rather
than using a PC/SC daemon to manage attached card readers and token,
the smaller Card Terminal API (CT-API) is used.

Supported Hardware
------------------
The module can be compiled for Linux and Windows. It supports the
SmartCard-HSM USB-stick and SmartCard-HSM cards inserted into an
Identive SCR 3310 reader.

The ctccid module uses standard functions from the CCID specification,
so the driver may work with other CCID compliant readers as well. However,
the only reader used during tests is the SCR 3310 and the USB-stick.

Build
-----

PCSC: 
 Windows: (Note that on Windows the "Smart Card Service" is the equivalent
 	of the pcscd on Unix and is always installed.) 	
 Unix: The following packages are required
	pcscd
	libpcsclite-dev

CTAPI: 
 Windows: (Using WinUSB for PSCS option is possible, but not recommended;
 	should only be used for research.)
 Unix: The following packages are required
	libusb-1.0

Windows: Visual Studio 2013 is required.
Unix: Install the required packages and edit "Makefile.config" as necessary
(PCSC is the default build). Run make.
