# Virtual Smart Card
|
|
|
|
Virtual Smart Card emulates a smart card and makes it accessible through PC/SC.
|
|
Currently the Virtual Smart Card supports the following types of smart cards:
|
|
|
|
- Generic ISO-7816 smart card including secure messaging
|
|
- German electronic identity card (nPA) with complete support for EAC
|
|
(PACE, TA, CA)
|
|
- Electronic passport (ePass/MRTD) with support for BAC
|
|
- Cryptoflex smart card (incomplete)
|
|
|
|
The vpcd is a smart card reader driver for [PCSC-Lite](http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/) and the windows smart
|
|
card service. It allows smart card applications to access the vpicc through
|
|
the PC/SC API. By default vpcd opens slots for communication with multiple
|
|
vpicc's on localhost on port 35963 and port 35964. But the |vpicc| does not
|
|
need to run on the same machine as the vpcd, they can connect over the
|
|
internet for example.
|
|
|
|
Although the Virtual Smart Card is a software emulator, you can use
|
|
[pcsc-relay](http://frankmorgner.github.io/vsmartcard/pcsc-relay/README.html)
|
|
to make it accessible to an external contact-less smart card reader.
