OpenSC is a package for for accessing smart card devices. Basic
functionality (e.g. SELECT FILE, READ BINARY) should work on any ISO
7816-4 compatible smart card. Encryption and decryption using private
keys on the smart card is possible with PKCS #15 compatible cards,
such as the FINEID (Finnish Electronic IDentity) card. Swedish Posten
eID cards have also been confirmed to work.
OpenSC provides a set of libraries and utilities to work with smart cards. Its
main focus is on cards that support cryptographic operations, and facilitate
their use in security applications such as authentication, mail encryption and
digital signatures. OpenSC implements the PKCS#11 API so applications
supporting this API (such as Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird) can use it. On
the card OpenSC implements the PKCS#15 standard and aims to be compatible with
every software/card that does so, too.
