Hi all,
I have a question about the new EID SDK.
At the moment I am trying to update an app, which is using the EID 3.5
version.
But in code they have imported the
using be.belgium.eid;
Now my questions are
-How can be triggered if an id card is inserted?
-How can you be sure the inserted card is an id card?
Kind regards
Dieter

Hello Dieter,
In order to check for card insertion events, you can use the C_WaitForSlotEvent() function. (see pkcs11 spec at ftp://ftp.rsasecurity.com/pub/pkcs/pkcs-11/v211/pkcs-11v2-11r1.pdf)
In order to check if the inserted card is a genuine eID card, you'll have to request the data files and verify the signatures, as well as checking the validity of the certificates.
The Integrety class of our CS examples could give you an idea about this.
Wkr,
Frederik

I think it is by far harder to implement the new EID than the old one.
Our experiences is also that the new EID-software is slower than the
old one.
Is it possible to still use the EID3.5 without getting the message
that there is a newer version?

Hello Dieter,
You can suppress this message by creating and setting following registry key to zero: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BEID\messages\show_sdk35_warning
In regard to the speed: are you refering to a C# project that does all the validity checking?

Hello Dieter,
Good to hear so.
In the SDK 4.0, a message to ask permission to read the card will be shown each time a session to a card is opened (and data is requested to be read). So if you do all your reads (from one card) within the same session, the message should be show only once (per card).
For each newly inserted card, permission to ask the card will always be asked again.

Bedankt voor de snelle respons.
We hebben het aan het werken gekregen. Er is enkel 1 probleempje waardoor het voor ons trager lijkt: in onze vorige applicatie moesten we maar 1 maal de toestemming geven om een eid te lezen. Nu moeten we dit bij elke read doen. Is hiervoor nog een oplossing?
Mvg
Dieter
