My name is Manuel Fernando V. Preliteiro, I'm a Computer Science student at Universidade da Beira Interior (UBI) in Covilhã in Portugal . |
I recently developed an OCaml binding that allows the manipulation of Smartcards in OCaml, both in Linux, through the C library PCSC-Lite provided by M.U.S.C.L.E. and in Windows through Winscard.dll. |
This means you can develop Smartcards applications using OCaml. The advantages should be evident, it is the best of 2 worlds, Smartcards flexibility and security and OCaml reliability . |
Downloads |

Ocamlpcsc is freely available, under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License. There are differences between Windows and Linux, because PCSC-Lite only implements the functional part of the standard and Windows implements everything (Card database functions, etc...) and even some non standard functions, all the details are in the documentation.

The actual version of ocamlpcsc, version 0.6, is still a Beta version. For testing purpose and as a proof of concept, I implemented a case study (a simple voting system in OCaml using smart cards) and all went well, but as you can guess I cannot garantee it's bug free. If you want to make it better fell free to send me your feedback :) |
