Calypso Legacy SAM API (external)

As part of the Card Layer, the Calypso Crypto Legacy SAM API provides high-level functionality for selecting and performing transactions with Calypso Legacy SAMs and can also be coupled with the Calypso Card API to handle the cryptographic calculations required for Calypso card transactions secured by symmetric keys.


Interfaces

The Calypso Crypto Legacy SAM API provides the means to select a target or control SAM and then perform a transaction with the selected target.

  • The result of a SAM selection is a smartcard image whose keys’ parameters can be read.
  • A transaction with a target SAM may involve a control SAM in order to secure the operations.

The LegacySam interface provide accessors in order to recover the information of the selected smartcard.

To optimize the number of exchanges with a SAM reader, the Legacy SAM API allows to group the commands. A set of command could be first prepared, and then be processed by a selected target at the selection or during the transaction. A transaction with a Calypso SAM is fully managed through one of the LSTransactionManager interfaces:
