Notes on my experiences playing with RFID smartcards and RFIDIOt<\/a> on OSX (10.8, 10.9)<\/i><\/p>\n

RFIDIOt<\/h2>\n

I’m using an OMNIKEY 5321 USB, now made by HID. I have a couple of RFID cards to play with including an old Javacard bought from Adam Laurie.<\/p>\n

OS-X supplies a bunch of PC\/SC infrastructure to get going – however I’d strongly<\/i> recommend downloading the driver from HID: http:\/\/www.hidglobal.com\/drivers\/20384<\/a>.
\n
\nThere are READMEs displayed in the installer – they are surprisingly detailed about what the installer actually installs. Read them. <\/p>\n

Once the driver is installed, you can test that everything is working – so plug in the reader. The pcsc daemon should run automatically; check by typing:<\/p>\n

\r\nps ax |grep pcscd |grep -v grep\r\n<\/pre>\n
So now you can run a test: place a card on the reader and run:\n<\/p>\n
\r\npcsctest\r\n<\/pre>\n
You should see something like this:<\/p>\n
\r\nMUSCLE PC\/SC Lite Test Program\r\n\r\nTesting SCardEstablishContext    : Command successful.\r\nTesting SCardGetStatusChange \r\nPlease insert a working reader   : Command successful.\r\nTesting SCardListReaders         : Command successful.\r\nReader 01: OMNIKEY CardMan 5x21 00 00\r\nReader 02: OMNIKEY CardMan 5x21 00 01\r\nEnter the reader number          :\r\n<\/pre>\n
The 5321 has two readers, a regular smartcard reader and a contactless reader. From what I can tell, “Reader 01” is for regular smartcards and “Reader 02” is RFID. If you only see the entry for regular contact cards, you are probably suffering from this issue<\/a> – to fix this all you need to do is install the drivers from Omnikey<\/a>. The installer patches the installed card driver bundle so that it will use the correct driver. <\/i><\/p>\n
So type “2”. You should see details about the card like:\n<\/p>\n
\r\nWaiting for card insertion         \r\n                                 : Command successful.\r\nTesting SCardConnect             : Command successful.\r\nTesting SCardStatus              : Command successful.\r\nCurrent Reader Name              : OMNIKEY CardMan 5x21 00 01\r\nCurrent Reader State             : 0x34\r\nCurrent Reader Protocol          : 0x1\r\nCurrent Reader ATR Size          : 20 (0x14)\r\nCurrent Reader ATR Value         : 3B XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX \r\nTesting SCardDisconnect          : Command successful.\r\nTesting SCardReleaseContext      : Command successful.\r\nTesting SCardEstablishContext    : Command successful.\r\nTesting SCardGetStatusChange \r\nPlease insert a working reader   : Command successful.\r\nTesting SCardListReaders         : Command successful.\r\nReader 01: OMNIKEY CardMan 5x21 00 00\r\nReader 02: OMNIKEY CardMan 5x21 00 01\r\n<\/pre>\n
Congratulations – you have a working reader!\n<\/p>\n
Install RFIDIOt from http:\/\/rfidiot.org\/documentation.html<\/a>. Read the documentation carefully. <\/p>\n
I needed to install pyscard<\/a>. The installer installed the libraries against Python 2.6 and on my machine the default python version is 2.7. Consequently, every time I tried to run any RFIDIOt tool I got the dreaded “*** Warning – no pyscard installed or pcscd not running”. Copying the modules into \/Library\/Python\/2.7\/site-packages from \/Library\/Python\/2.6\/site-packages did the trick.\n<\/p>\n
I also needed to install PIL (actually Pillow)  and pyasn1. These were simply a case of running:\n<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo easy_install pyasn1\r\nsudo pip install Pillow\r\n<\/pre>\n
gpshell and GlobalPlatform<\/h2>\n
gpshell is a tool for interacting with smart cards using globalplatform. First you need the globalplatform library<\/a>. I managed to get it to compile with:<\/p>\n
\r\n.\/configure PCSCLITE_CFLAGS=-I\/Applications\/Xcode45-DP1.app\/Contents\/Developer\/Platforms\/MacOSX.platform\/Developer\/SDKs\/MacOSX10.8.sdk\/System\/Library\/Frameworks\/PCSC.framework\/Versions\/A\/Headers\/ --prefix=\/opt\/local\/\r\nmake\r\nsudo make install\r\n<\/pre>\n
The \/opt\/local prefix is because I wanted it to nestle in with my MacPorts stuff. Next I built gppcscconnectionplugin using:<\/p>\n
\r\n.\/configure PCSCLITE_CFLAGS=-I\/Applications\/Xcode45-DP1.app\/Contents\/Developer\/Platforms\/MacOSX.platform\/Developer\/SDKs\/MacOSX10.8.sdk\/System\/Library\/Frameworks\/PCSC.framework\/Versions\/A\/Headers\/ --prefix=\/opt\/local\/ GLOBALPLATFORM_CFLAGS=-I\/opt\/local\/include\/globalplatform\r\nmake\r\nsudo make install\r\n<\/pre>\n
And then gpshell<\/a> would build with:<\/p>\n
\r\n.\/configure PCSCLITE_CFLAGS=-I\/Applications\/Xcode45-DP1.app\/Contents\/Developer\/Platforms\/MacOSX.platform\/Developer\/SDKs\/MacOSX10.8.sdk\/System\/Library\/Frameworks\/PCSC.framework\/Versions\/A\/Headers\/ --prefix=\/opt\/local\/ GLOBALPLATFORM_CFLAGS=-I\/opt\/local\/include\/globalplatform\r\nmake\r\nsudo make install\r\n<\/pre>\n
