Project needs to be cloned recursively. Downloading the ZIP is not enough.

Software ICC (or swICC) is a framework providing an easy and flexible way to develop most types of smart cards. It also allows any swICC-based card to be connected to the PC through the PC/SC interface (using the swICC PC/SC reader) which is the de facto standard for connecting smart cards to PCs.

Scope

  • Framework for developing smart cards in software, with no hardware dependencies.
  • Any swICC-based card can connect to the PC via PC/SC using the swICC PC/SC reader.
  • Smart card file system can be defined using JSON, examples present in ./test/data/disk. The FS can be saved to disk as a .swiccfs file, and loaded back into the card.
  • Plenty debug utilities.
  • Includes an easy-to-use BER-TLV implementation.

Install

  • You need make, cmake, and gcc to compile the project. No extra runtime dependencies.
  1. sudo apt-get install make cmake gcc
  2. git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:tomasz-lisowski/swicc.git
  3. cd swicc
  4. make main-dbg (for more info on building, take a look at ./doc/install.md).
  5. Link with ./build/libswicc.a (e.g. -Llib/swicc/build -lswicc) and add ./include to the include path (e.g. -Ilib/swicc/include).
  6. In your project add #include <swicc/swicc.h> to include all headers.

Usage

To create a minimal smart card do the following:

  1. Make sure to follow the installation instructions first and make sure ./build/libswicc.a exists.
  2. mkdir card
  3. cd card
  4. Copy the following code into a main.c file inside the ./card directory.

                    }
                    swicc_net_client_destroy(&client_ctx);
                }
                else
                {
                    fprintf(stderr, "Failed to create a client.\n");
                }
            }
            else
            {
                fprintf(stderr, "Failed to register signal handler.\n");
            }
            swicc_terminate(&swicc_ctx);
        }
        else
        {
            fprintf(stderr, "Failed to mount disk.\n");
            swicc_disk_unload(&disk);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        fprintf(stderr, "Failed to create disk.\n");
    }

    return 0;
}
  1. gcc main.c -I../include -L../build -lswicc -o card.elf to build the card.
  2. To interact with the card over PC/SC, you will need to start a swICC card server, e.g., the swICC PC/SC reader.
  3. ./card.elf which will connect the card to the card reader.
  4. pcsc_scan (part of the pcsc-tools package) will show some details of the card.
  5. You can begin interacting with the card through PC/SC as you would with a real card.

To implement a custom card, one needs to register an APDU demuxer (before running the network client) through swicc_apduh_pro_register, as well as APDU handlers that get called by the demuxer depending on command that was received. A good example for using the framework in a more advanced way is the swSIM project which implements a SIM card using swICC.
