PCSC Sample in Swift

The document summarizes a Swift code sample that uses the Apple Crypto Token Kit API to communicate with a smart card reader and smart card. It includes the source code, which connects to the first reader found, begins a session with the card, sends two APDU commands to select an application and receive data, and prints the responses. The author notes that using the Crypto Token Kit API is not different between Objective-C and Swift, and that this sample may be the first public code example of using the API in Swift.

PCSC sample in Swift Ludovic Rousseau blog

To continue the list of PC/SC wrappers initiated in 2010 with "PC/SC sample in different languages" I now Follow
present a sample in Swift using the Apple Crypto Token Kit API.

Hello world!

Comments
See the previous article "PCSC sample in Objective­C" for comments about the Crypto Token Kit API.

Swift may be easier to learn and use than Objective­C. Using the Crypto Token Kit API is not different if you
use Objective­C or Swift.

It looks like I am the first to provide a public code sample using the Crypto Token Kit API in Swift. Great! I
hope that is a good Swift sample, I am not a Swift expert.

Conclusion
As I wrote in "PCSC framework will stay in Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan" the PC/SC API is not available from
Swift. So the only option (for now) to use a smart card from Swift is to use the Crypto Token Kit API.

[Update 5 Oct 2015]


The sample code was not correct in the error treatment.

I then discovered that if the card returns an "error" code then the sendIns method returns an error in the error
parameter. Here is the execution output of the program with a card that does not contain the applet:

slotName: Gemalto PC Twin Reader


sendIns error: Error Domain=CryptoTokenKit Code=‐3 "SmartCard returned error 6a82" Use
rInfo=0x600000060940 {NSLocalizedDescription=SmartCard returned error 6a82}

The card returns 0x6A82 (Wrong parameter(s) P1­P2, File not found) in SW (Status Word).

It may be difficult to differentiate errors at the card/reader communication level from "errors" returned by the
card. A SW different from 0x9000 may be completely valid and expected by the application in some cases.
