This driver has been tested with SpringCard CSB6 on GNU/Linux, and should work on the other operating systems targetted by the project. PCSC-Lite project includes an open source CCID driver. The USB CCID specification published by the USB Workgroup aims to normalize USB smartcard readers, in order to have a single driver (supplied once for all with the operating system) for virtually any reader from any manufacturer. Their compatibility list now includes other popular UNIXes, including Apple Mac OS X and Solaris. Despite its name, the PC/SC stack offered by MUSCLE is not limited to GNU/Linux anymore. PCSC-Lite is an open source implementation of PC/SC, part of a global project named MUSCLE (Movement for the Use of Smart Cards in a Linux Environment). Even if PC/SC has been initialy promoted by Microsoft -and has been implemented for long in Windows-, the standard is not limited to MS’ operating systems. PC/SC is the de-facto standard to interface Personal Computers with Smart Cards (and smartcard readers of course). This makes those products usable on non-Windows operating systems thanks to PCSC-Lite CCID driver. Products in the SpringCard CSB6 Family ( CSB6, Prox’N’Roll PC/SC, EasyFinger and CrazyWriter) are smartcard readers, compliant with both standards PC/SC and CCID.
