/** @mainpage

Welcome to ccid.  The purpose of ccid is to forward a PCSC smartcard reader
as a standard USB CCID reader. If the host system is in USB device mode, ccid
forwards the local reader via USB to an other device. If in USB host mode,
ccid virtually plugges in a USB CCID reader to the host system.

ccid is implemented using GadgetFS. Some fragments of the source code is based
on the GadgetFS example at http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget/ and on the source
code of the OpenSC tools.

pace-tool has support for Password Authenticated Connection Establishment
(PACE) using OpenPACE (see http://sourceforge.net/projects/openpace/).
pace-tool can be used for PIN management or to encrypt APDUs inside a secure
messaging channel established with PACE. PACE is experimental and disabled by
default.


@section i INSTALLATION

See file INSTALL.


@subsection g HINTS ON GADGETFS

To create an USB Gadget in both USB host and USB client mode, you need to load
the kernel module gadgetfs. A guide focused on Debian based systems to run and
compile gadgetfs, you can find here:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Building_Gadget_USB_Module

On OpenMoko it is likely, that you need to patch your kernel (see
http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/2206). If you also want to switch multiple
times between gadgetfs and g_ether an other patch is needed (see
https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/2240).

If you only use pace-tool for testing your card, you don't need gadgetfs.


@subsection o HINTS ON OPENSC

If ccid runs into a checking error, because the Le field of the APDU is 0 (as
set for the General Authenticate APDU during PACE), you need to patch libopensc
(see http://www.opensc-project.org/opensc/ticket/209). Such an error looks something like this:
[default] apdu.c:343:sc_check_apdu: Invalid Case 4 short APDU: cse=04 cla=0c ins=2a p1=00 p2=be lc=351 le=0


@section u USAGE

When testing PACE with either PIN, CAN, MRZ or PUK run pace-tool. Here you can
enter APDUs which are to be converted according to the secure messaging
parameter and to be sent to the card. Herefor insert the APDU in hex (upper or
lower case) with a colon to separate the bytes or without it. Example APDUs can
be found in the file apdus.
To pass a secret to pace-tool, the command line parameters or the environment
variables PIN/CAN/MRZ/PUK/NEWPIN can be used. If none of these options is used,
pace-tool will show a password prompt.
