Document Summary
The Card API is used by the layer dedicated to the functional processing of cards, in a Calypso system the Calypso Layer. It defines the internal elements shared by the reader layer to implement specific card layers (like the Calypso Layer), i.e. the interfaces and classes needed to communicate with the smart cards and specify the card selection data.
The Card API is proposed in 2 programming languages Java & C++, but these versions are based on the same object-oriented model.
