OpenGPG card: PIN enry on keypad?

[Werner Koch]

Hi,

Pinpads do only work with the inetrnal CCID driver.  Thus you need to
stop pcscd (there is no need for it) and get the permissions for the
reader right; see the card howto.

Further we only support those readers we tested:

  /* We have only tested a few readers so better don't risk anything
     and do not allow the use with other readers. */
  switch (handle->id_vendor)
    {
    case VENDOR_SCM:  /* Tested with SPR 532. */
    case VENDOR_KAAN: /* Tested with KAAN Advanced (1.02). */
      break;
    case VENDOR_CHERRY:
      /* The CHERRY XX44 keyboard echos an asterisk for each entered
         character on the keyboard channel.  We use a special variant
         of PC_to_RDR_Secure which directs these characters to the
         smart card's bulk-in channel.  We also need to append a zero
         Lc byte to the APDU.  It seems that it will be replaced with
         the actual length instead of being appended before the APDU
         is send to the card. */
      cherry_mode = 1;
      break;
    default:
     return CCID_DRIVER_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED;
    }


Salam-Shalom,

   Werner
