Supported hardware (smart cards and USB tokens)

NB! Unless noted otherwise, OpenSC works only with contact interface!

  • OpenSC targets only smart cards, so to know if your reader device is support, check the list of CardReaders.
  • Proprietary USB tokens will require a (possibly proprietary) USB level driver: PC/SC (preferred) or OpenCT (deprecated)
