SUPPORT FOR SMART CARD READERS/CRYPTO TOKENS (security issue for internet banking)

[Paweł Bułat]

Hello everyone,

Is there any chance to adding, to  WebRTC API, support for smartcards readers/crypto tokens or just communication with HID Devices?

We provided this kind of support for many banks(internet banking), but our solution was based on  NPAPI. What we need is send and receive 

the small batch of data to crypto device direct from browser.

Do you need network for this? If you only wish to read this, WebRTC is
not the API for you. I recommend checking out chrome.hid[1],
chrome.usb[2], or the new WebUSB standard[3] suggestion. Only the two
former are actually implemented and live now though, but I believe you
can achieve reading and writing from HID devices through one of these
APIs if you can install an extension.
