asterix is a framework for communication with smartcards based on pyscard
It consists of:
formutil a module with formatting utilities
GAF a module for representation and evaluation of ASN1 structures
mycard a module providing handy primitives for card communication
APDU a module for creation and transmission of common APDU to a smartcard
SCP02 an implementation of Secure Channel Protocol 02 as defined in Global platform
SCP03 an implementation of Secure Channel Protocol 03 as defined in Global platform
applet a module for loading, installation and deletion of JavaCard applets to a smartcard
CAT a module implementing Card Application Toolkit as defined in ETSI TS 102.223
SecurePacket a module implementing Secure Packet for OTA communication with smartcards
auth3G a module implementing authentication and key agreement in 3G/4G networks (namely Milenage algorithm)
All modules are platform independent, working with Python 2.7
All modules relies on pyscard, a package implementing PCSC layer for communication with smartcards.
See wiki
The asterix framework is packaged using the standard distutils python module. It is pure python implementation.
Unzip asterix-.zip, cd asterix- and run python setup.py install
The asterix framework depends on the following packages:
- pyscard >= 1.6.16
- PyCrypto >= 2.6.1
- ECDSA >= 0.11
