Software ICC (or swICC) is a framework providing an easy and flexible way to develop most types of smart cards. It also allows any swICC-based card to be connected to the PC through the PC/SC interface (using the swICC PC/SC reader) which is the de facto standard for connecting smart cards to PCs.
- Framework for developing smart cards in software, with no hardware dependencies.
- Any swICC-based card can connect to the PC via PC/SC using the swICC PC/SC reader.
- Smart card file system can be defined using JSON, examples present in
./test/data/disk
. The FS can be saved to disk as a.swiccfs
file, and loaded back into the card. - Plenty debug utilities.
- Includes an easy-to-use BER-TLV implementation.
- You need
make
,cmake
, andgcc
to compile the project. No extra runtime dependencies.
sudo apt-get install make cmake gcc
git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:tomasz-lisowski/swicc.git
cd swicc
make main-dbg
(for more info on building, take a look at./doc/install.md
).- Link with
./build/libswicc.a
(e.g.-Llib/swicc/build -lswicc
) and add./include
to the include path (e.g.-Ilib/swicc/include
). - In your project add
#include <swicc/swicc.h>
to include all headers.
To create a minimal smart card do the following:
- Make sure to follow the installation instructions first and make sure
./build/libswicc.a
exists. mkdir card
cd card
- Copy the following code into a
main.c
file inside the./card
directory.

gcc main.c -I../include -L../build -lswicc -o card.elf
to build the card.- To interact with the card over PC/SC, you will need to start a swICC card server, e.g., the swICC PC/SC reader.
./card.elf
which will connect the card to the card reader.pcsc_scan
(part of thepcsc-tools
package) will show some details of the card.- You can begin interacting with the card through PC/SC as you would with a real card.
To implement a custom card, one needs to register an APDU demuxer (before running the network client) through swicc_apduh_pro_register
, as well as APDU handlers that get called by the demuxer depending on command that was received. A good example for using the framework in a more advanced way is the swSIM project which implements a SIM card using swICC.
