This library provides a simple and nice C++ wrapper around these libraries, so that programmers can concentrate on functionality. It offers general support for PCSC-lite, OpenSSL, PKCS#11, plus specific functionality for the SuisseID.

C++ Library for accessing PCSC-lite, OpenSSL, PKCS#11

The Libraries for accessing smartcard tokens are written in ugly C, moving around pointers with no memory management. This library provides a simple and nice C++ wrapper around these libraries, so that programmers can concentrate on functionality. It offers general support for PCSC-lite, OpenSSL, PKCS#11, plus specific functionality for the SuisseID.

Modules

Note: All links below require the generated Doxygen documentation.

There are several Namespaces which correspond to the Modules that are implemented. All libraries libraries deal with hardware token cryptography. Some libraries are just clean C++-wrappers around the original libraries that are implemented in ugliest C manner. The warppers care about memory- and resource-management and implement a simple and easy C++ interface, including std::string for binary data and exceptions for error handling.

For special documentations, such as global overviews and tutorials, please refere to Pages.

The library contains the following modules:

Siemens CardOS 4.4:
APDU access to Siemens CardOS 4.4.
CardOS is an operating system on Siemens smart cards.
Cryptoki API / PKCS#11:
C++ wrapper around higher level PKCS#11 smart card access.
Cryptoki, also known as PKCS#11 is a higher level API.
OpenSSL:
C++ wrapper around some OpenSSL functionality.
OpenSSL is a high level cryptography library.
PCSC-Lite:
C++ wrapper around PCSC-Lite smart card reader access library.
PCSC-Lite is a middleware to access a smart card using SCard API.
SuisseID:
High level functions for the SuisseID hardware token.
SuisseID is a standardized digital identity in Switzerland.
Crypto:
Crypto implements some auxiliary crypto funtions.

See Overview of the Components to get a graphical overview on the module structure and the hardware interaction.
