Smart Card Interfaces

This feature is new in the Solaris 9 8/03 release.

Solaris smart card interfaces are a set of public interfaces for Smart Card Terminals. Card terminal vendors can implement these interfaces in a user-level shared library to provide device-level support for their smart card terminals in Solaris. The set of Solaris smart card terminal interfaces is based on card terminal interfaces that are available as part of the Linux Smartcard framework. Card terminal support libraries from Linux can be ported to Solaris with minimum effort.
