Software Architecture
Applications can interface with the driver directly through the PC/SC interface.
The CLOUD 370x F reader leverages a PC/SC CCID driver that is freely available for all supported
operating systems (Windows, MacOSX, and Linux). This driver is already included in the basic
installation of the current versions of Windows (starting with Windows Vista) and MacOSX.
Because there are so many variations of Linux, there may be distribution-specific drivers that need to be
installed using the install mechanism of your particular variation.
If there is none, the driver may always be downloaded from the Web page of the maintainer, Ludovic
Rousseau,
https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=30105
.
Alternatively, Identiv provides a proprietary driver for all the supported operating systems.
For Android-based systems, Identiv offers a CCID Library, which enables every application running on
Android version 4.0 and higher to communicate with the reader using the CCID protocol.
