Financial Transactional IC Card Reader (FINREAD) - Part 7: FINREAD card reader application programming interfaces (APIs)

Scope

This part of the CWA is a specification of the FINREAD Card Reader API 1.1. Its goal is twofold. It should enable
a developer of the card reader side of a FINREAD financial application to develop a FINREAD Card Reader
Application (FCRA) which can react to commands sent by a client side program and communicate with an ICC
inserted into the FINREAD reader.
The second goal is to give sufficient information to allow a FINREAD card reader vendor to implement the
interface specified in this document within their FINREAD reader.
This Part of the CWA:
 gives an overview of the interaction and differences with the Small Terminal Interoperability Platform
specification ;
 is the javadoc style API specification.
