Most common connector type for smart card readers is USB. CT- API drivers are also supported (only if required and a driver is available from reader vendor, CT- API is a deprecated interface) and OpenCT (on Linux/ BSD, if the reader or token does not work with pcsc-lite). If you’re unsure, you need a PC/SC driver, which 99.9% of vendors provide for at least Windows platform. OpenSC is supposed to work with any supported smart card (see SupportedHardware for a list) if you have a driver for your card reader or USB token. So to use your smart card, you need a working smart card reader first. OpenSC targets smart cards, not smart card readers.


The token must be PKI initialized before use. Certificate-based technology generates and stores credentials-such as private keys, passwords, and digital certificates inside the protected environment of the smart card chip.
