Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

PC/SC Lite provides a Windows SCard interface in a small form factor for communication with smart cards and readers. Security aware people should read the SECURITY file for possible vulnerabilities of pcsclite and how to fix them. For information on how to install drivers please read the DRIVERS file. Memory cards will be supported through the MCT specification, which is an APDU like manner sent normally through the SCardTransmit() function. This functionality is exercised in the driver.
