smartcard | PCSC smartcard reader library for nodejs | Runtime Evironment library

I am currently trying to hack my way into Smart Cards but I am now stuck at reading anything useful from the Card. I am trying to send a SELECT FILE Command (0x6F, 0xB, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0xa4, 0x04, 0x0c, 0x06, 0xd2, 0x76, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x02) to my Card (after PC_to_RDR_IccPowerOn, which returns the correct ATR) with the PC_to_RDR_XfrBlock Command.

But my response has the bmICCStatus Flag set to 0x40 which indicates the "ICC is present and inactive (not activated or shut down by hardware error)" but I am not quite sure what to do with that information. How am I supposed to activate the Card? I thought powering it was all there was to it.

It is very much possible that I am just blind and it is written in the Specification but I was not able to find it and my Google Searches lead me to exactly 1 SO Question, which didn't really corrolate with my problem.

I am using libusb 1.0 and C, but I don't think that this is relevant to the question.

Edit:

I've added an code example, but you have to select your device for yourself, if you want to run it.

I am trying to establish a secure channel SCP02 with a smart card using python. My smartcard is connected to the terminal using a serial port and I use pySerial to send APDUs.

I send commands SELECT ISD, INITIALIZE UPDATE correctly, and next I try to do EXTERNAL AUTHENTICATE as the python code below:

I need to load a simple applet to my USIM card. Authentication is OK. I'm using OTA SMS-DELIVER via SmartCard to install CAP file.

Using these:

• https://github.com/simhacks/hello-stk.git
• https://github.com/martinpaljak/ant-javacard

I couldnt find the right spec explaining "C482XXYY" in Header.cap, how it should be calculated,

this answer below helped me navigate, but for Method.cap loading - it still fails https://community.oracle.com/tech/developers/discussion/1753814/globalpaltform-load-command-data-field

I've written this loader: https://pastebin.com/pSXeDYyS

Every component in CAP file is in separate APDU with LOAD instruction. First 5 is loaded successfully with DATA=00, SW=9000, however on Method it fails. As you can see from my script, I've fixed Descriptor size to 0000 in Directory field. And in Header C482xxyy, where xxyy is calculated properly, which is a sum of all size fields in Directory, e.g.

I started a script that run on a linux satellite receiver and run the 'dvbsnoop' tool. I need help to finish the script because i do not know hot to handle the results from the 'dvbsnoop' tool.

I am relatively new to Javacard and I am in the process of developing my own Javacard Applet which works quite well until now. I am also writing a host program to communicate with my card (via APDUs), this program is written in Java and uses the javax.smartcardio library as well as apdu4j.

My goal now is to use my reader's integrated Pinpad to ask the user for a PIN and then forward the entered PIN to the Smartcard which will verify the PIN. I already wrote the code on the card which will verify the PIN (CLA: 0x80, INS: 0x04, P1: 0x00, P2: 0x00, pin data), but I have no idea how to tell the Reader to probe for a PIN and then forward this information to the Card.

My Card is a J3H145 by NXP (Javacard 3.0.4 / ISO7816 / ISO14443) and my Reader is a ReinerSCT cyberJack RFID standard.

Thank you in advance.

I got a com-interface in c# which looks like this:

I'm trying to add 00 for each byte array element that is missing, to explain it better, if lenght of an array is 20 and the string fills only 9 spaces (reversed), I need the rest 11 spaces to be 00. An example will explain it better.

This is my code so far:

I am developing Web Application for Certifying Authority as a part of which, I need to

1. Generate asymmetric key pair - Private Key and Public Key in user's smartcard through browser,
2. create Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and send CSR to Certifying Authority server where user's certificate gets generated.
3. Then CA Server will send user's certificate to browser which needs to be downloaded to user's SmartCard or USB Token through browser.

How to achieve the same using JavaScript that works in Modern Browsers? Using ActiveX and JavaApplets are not the options.

I have a need to run a PowerShell script as another user (the users will actually be doing the auth) based on detected environment. The script leverages a smartcard for login. The problem I have is when the PowerShell.exe instance launches from the runas, it simply prints my command and doesn't actually run it.

Note: The filepaths have spaces that get escaped with double-`, just not shown here hence the escaped ``' in the actual command. Have also used ```".
