so apdus will
be exchanged through the serial link with the phone.
It may be nice to have a pcsclite driver to drive the sim card in the phone.
Then we'll be able to use a SIM cards connected to the real phone, or a ccid
smart card reader connected to the PC running the layer2/layer3, using the
same API.
Yes, I like that idea, and we can easily use yet another of our HLDC
data link connections for this.
However, it seems almost like a bit of over-engineering to me to go a
far as to support PC/SC. Sure, it's a cool hack, and if somebody has
an interest in it and some time to spare.
I would do it the other way around.
Make sure that all call from layer 3 are in the form of " apdu_xfer(in,out); "
Then implementing this apdu_xfer either using :
. A HLDC data link to the real phone
. A PCSC reader (the api allows for raw apdu exchange very easily)
. A bare serial link to one of those cheap card reader
. The SIM api directly when running inside the phone.
