crypto crypto@gentoo.org Crypto Herd OpenSC is a library for accessing SmartCard devices. It is also the core library of the OpenSC project. Basic functionality (e.g. SELECT FILE, READ BINARY) should work on any ISO 7816-4 compatible SmartCard. Encryption and decryption using private keys on the SmartCard is possible with PKCS #15 compatible cards, such as the FINEID (Finnish Electronic IDentity) card. Use sys-devel/libtool for dynamically loading libraries rather than the host libdl/dlopen helpers. Use dev-libs/openct (and CT-API) for accessing Smartcard hardware. If neither openct nor pcsc-lite are enabled, only CT-API dynamic linking is enabled. Use sys-apps/pcsc-lite (and PC/SC API) for accessing Smartcard hardware. If neither openct nor pcsc-lite are enabled, only CT-API dynamic linking is enabled.
