SCardX Easy is an ActiveX control which creates the communication channel between your application and any ISO-7816 smart card via MS Smart Card service and the attached PC/SC compatible smart card reader.

SCardX Easy adds to your application or web site the following smart cards functionality:

What kind of smart cards and the card readers are supported by the SCardX Easy?

SCardX Easy ActiveX control is based on the MS Smart Card Service which implements the PC/SC Specifications 1.0.

It means that you can successfully use any of PC/SC compatible devices like the card readers, USB tokens e.t.c., and you can work with any of ISO-7816 compatible smart cards like the GSM SIM cards, EMV payment cards, identity and cryptographic cards and all other types of processor cards, except memory cards.

To be able to work with contact/contactless memory cards you need to use the specific card reader which allows you to encapsulate the specific memory card commands (read/write/verify e.t.c.) into the regular command APDUs. In other words you need the card reader which allows you to work with a memory card in the way you use for contact smart cards. For example to use our software with memory cards you can use one of the following card readers: Prox'N'Roll PC/SC, OMNIKEY 5321 RFID

Where and for what kind of applications the SCardX Easy can be used?

Using the SCardX Easy smart cards ActiveX control you can create the following applications:

• any executable applications or modules to work with any kinds of ISO-7816 compatible smart cards like GSM SIM cards, EMV payment cards, identity and cryptographic cards and all other types of processor cards except memory cards;
• any smart cards based shells like internet kiosks or other self service systems;
• any smart cards based access control systems;
• any smart cards protected web sites;
• any other solution where you need to use smart cards...

SCardX Easy can be used to create any kind of smart card based applications regardless of the programming language and IDE you use.

SCardX Easy v2.0 ( build 1834 ): (Minor version upgrade)

• some minor bugs has been fixed;
• improved the Windows7 stability;

SCardX Easy v2.0 ( build 1541 ): (Major version upgrade)

• improved the Windows7 stability;
• data encrypt : added the functions to encrypt/decrypt any data encoded as HEX, ASCII or Base64 by the following cryptographic algorithms: DES/3DES, AES (Rijndael), RC6;
• data hashing : added the function to hash any data encoded as HEX, ASCII or Base64 by the following cryptographic algorithms: MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512;
• data encoding : added the functions to encode/convert data between the following formats: HEX, ASCII, Base64;
• winlogon cards : added the function to verify secure the PIN code of any winlogon smart card inserted into a reader;

SCardX Easy v1.5 ( build 12 ):

• patched some bugs of detecting of USB removable devices; the control works now much more stable;
• patched the Vista IE7 working bugs: since the 1.5 version the control avoid accessing any custom files on a hard drive except the system registry;
• patched the T1 APDU sending bugs: all previous versions sends the APDU bytes in the following order: Cla+Ins+P1+P2+P3(Lc)+Le+DataIn, but according to ISO-7816 the Le must be sent after DataIn buffer; so the new version sends the APDUs as following: Cla+Ins_P1+P2+P3(Lc)+DataIn+Le;
