Smart Card Readers & Writers

Smart Card Readers & Writers

The reader provides a path for an application to send and receive commands from the card. Each manufacturer provides a different protocol for communication with the reader.

• First, users have to communicate with the reader.
• Second, the reader communicates with the card, acting as the intermediary before sending the data to the card.
• Third, communication with a smart card is based on the APDU format. The card will process the data and return it to the reader, which will then return the data to its originating source
