Abstract

Smartcard software developers suffer from the lack of a standard communication framework between a workstation and a smartcard. To address this problem, we extended the UNIX filesystem to provide access to smartcard storage, which enables us to use files in a smartcard as though normal UNIX files, but with the additional security properties inherent to smart-cards.
