![]() ![]() Tools to use with the PCSC project (to read tag for example).Middleware to access a smart card using SCard API (PC/SC).This package provides the source code for a generic USB CCID (Chip/Smart Card Interface Devices) driver and ICCD (Integrated Circuit(s) Card Devices).Here are my raw notes for future reference: There are plenty of soft related to RFID reading on Linux that I found during my research before choosing to try CCID. Most USB-based readers are complying with a common USB-CCID specification and therefore are relying on the same driver (libccid under Linux) part of the MUSCLE project: Moreover there is a USB standard for such device: CCID.ĬCID (chip card interface device) protocol is a USB protocol that allows a smartcard to be connected to a computer via a card reader using a standard USB interface ( wikipedia) PC/SC (short for “Personal Computer/Smart Card”) is a specification for smart-card integration into computing environments. I decided to do some research and found out that this type of RFID card reader is called “PCSC”: It’s a good start nevertheless I wanted to use it on Raspberry Pi. It allowed me to confirm that it use the ISO 15693 standard: It works pretty well on Windows with their driver and software and gives me some useful information about my badge. In the meantime I found a cheap HID reader on amazon ( ) which should be compatible with HID iClass card so I decided to buy it. I look for some reader for the ISO 15693 but the choice is very limited (since it is not widely use). I set it up with a Raspberry Pi 2 and was able to read the TAG send with the reader but sadly not the tag I wanted to read… Since I was unable to read my tag I guess they are using the third protocol: ISO 15693. Finally I decided to buy the ADA fruit reader which handles both ISO 14443A and B: Nevertheless the iClass type includes several tag variations with all these standards. The most used are (in order) ISO 14443A, ISO 14443B, and ISO 15693. Then I found out that there are several standard on this frequency. The iClass seems mainly based on the 13.56 MHz standard so I decided to go for a reader on this frequency. I start doing some research and found out that there are 2 big frequencies used in RFID: 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz. ![]() I had absolutely no information on the badge except the string “HID iClass” written on it. I wanted to retrieve the Unique ID of the each badge. I recently come across a project where I needed to interact with some RFID tag. ![]()
