Smartcard Middleware APIs

This feature is new in the Solaris 9 9/02 release.

The Solaris Smartcard framework now provides low-level middleware APIs. These APIs can be used to exchange data with a smart card by using a smart card reader. The APIs can be used in platforms such as the Sun Blade^TM and Sun Ray^TM systems. Applications that are written in the Java language, or in C, can use these interfaces.

For more information, see the libsmartcard(3LIB) man page and the JavaDocs in /usr/share/javadoc/smartcard.
