libchipcard
Libchipcard is a framework for easy access to chipcards/smartcards via chip card terminals/readers. It uses the CTAPI or IFD driver provided by manufacturers. It works under Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Mac OS X, and Windows, and has been tested with many different readers (even in parallel).
