DESCRIPTION¶

Virtual Smart Card 0.8: Smart card emulator written in Python. The emulator connects to the virtual smart card reader reader (vpcd). Smart card applications can access the Virtual Smart Card through the vpcd via PC/SC.

OPTIONS¶

General options:¶

-h, --help
show this help message and exit

-t {iso7816,cryptoflex,ePass,nPA,relay,handler_test}, --type {iso7816,cryptoflex,ePass,nPA,relay,handler_test}
type of smart card to emulate (default: iso7816)

-v, --verbose
Use (several times) to be more verbose

-f FILE, --file FILE
load a saved smart card image

-H HOSTNAME, --hostname HOSTNAME
specify vpcd's host name if vicc shall connect to it. (default: localhost)

-P PORT, --port PORT
port of connection establishment (default: 35963)

-R, --reversed
use reversed connection mode. vicc will wait for an incoming connection from vpcd. (default: False)

--version
show program's version number and exit

Relaying a local smart card options (--type=relay):¶

--reader READER
number of the reader containing the card to be relayed (default: 0)

## Emulation of German identity card (--type=nPA):

--ef-cardaccess EF_CARDACCESS
the card's EF.CardAccess (default: use file from first generation nPA)

--ef-cardsecurity EF_CARDSECURITY
the card's EF.CardSecurity (default: use file from first generation nPA)

--cvca CVCA
trust anchor for verifying certificates in TA (default: use libeac's trusted certificates)

--disable-ta-checks
disable checking the validity period of CV certificates (default: False)

--ca-key CA_KEY
the chip's private key for CA (default: randomly generated, invalidates signature of EF.CardSecurity)

-d DATASETFILE, --datasetfile DATASETFILE
Load the smartcard's data groups (DGs) from the specified dataset file. For DGs not in dataset file default values are used. The data groups in the data set file must have the following syntax:

Datagroupname=Datagroupvalue

For Example: GivenNames=GERTRUD. The following Dataset Elements may be used in the dataset file:
* DocumentType
* IssuingState
* DateOfExpiry
* GivenNames
* FamilyNames
* ReligiousArtisticName
* AcademicTitle
* DateOfBirth
* PlaceOfBirth
* Nationality
* Sex
* BirthName
* Country
* City
* ZIP
* Street
* CommunityID
* ResidencePermit1
* ResidencePermit2
* dg12
* dg14
* dg15
* dg16
* dg21.

--esign-cert ESIGN_CERT
the card holder's certificate for QES

--esign-ca-cert ESIGN_CA_CERT
the CA's certificate for QES
