Introduction/Overview

This document describes the API calls required to make a PC/SC driver for a device to be supported under the MUSCLE PC/SC resource manager. By implementing these calls correctly in a driver or shared object form, reader manufacturers can fit their hardware into an already existing infrastructure under several operating systems and hardware platforms. This IFD Handler interface is not restricted to smart cards and readers and could also be used for other types of smart card like devices. I would really like to hear from you. If you have any feedback either on this documentation or on the MUSCLE project please feel free to email me at: corcoran@musclecard.com.
