How to Install opensc and Required Smart Card Reader Drivers
Updated April 19, 2015OPEN SOURCE TOOLS, OPENSOURCE
OpenSC is a set of open source tools and libraries for smart cards which provides management of smart card (creation of PKCS#15 file structure and accessing smart cards using PKCS#11 API) . Smart Card or HSM (hardware security module) used for multiple purposes such as storage of cryptographic keys for web browser (Firefox) and email client (Thunder bird).
According to OpenSC web site, It supports following family of smart cards in the openSC package.
OpenPGP Card

Smart Card Readers
Smart card reader used to access the data store in the file structure of smart card. Driver program for the CCID (Chip/Smart Card interface devices) smart card readers required to access the smart cards. Open source software's PCSC-Lite and OpenCT are providing drivers for smart card reader devices. However, PCSC-Lite is recommended for CCID readers. OpenCT supports non-standard smart cards on linux platform.
Installation of PCSC-Lite
Pre requisite
PCSC package required libudev library, so install it by following command which is shown in the below figure.
# apt-get install libudev-dev
libudev library installation
Download PCSC-lite package from alioth.debian.org website and extract it using following command. Downloading and extraction step is shown in the following figures.
# wget https://alioth.debian.org/frs/download.php/file/4126/pcsc-lite-1.8.13.tar.bz2
PCSC-Lite Download
#tar -xf pcsc-lite-1.8.13.tar.bz2
Package Extraction
Run following commands to install the PCSC lite package. These commands are used to install software's from source code on linux platform.
# ./configure
configure script
#make
make command
#make install
make install command
Installation of CCID drivers
Pre requisite
CCID package is dependent on usb development library, install it using following command before CCID compilation from source.
# aptitude install libusb-1.0-0-dev
libusb development library
For the installation of CCID driver for usb readers, download CCID package from alioth.debian.org website and extract it using following command. Downloading and extraction is shown in the following figure.
# wget https://alioth.debian.org/frs/download.php/file/4111/ccid-1.4.18.tar.bz2
ccid download process
#tar -xf ccid-1.4.18.tar.bz2
extracton of ccid package
Run configure, make and make install commands for the installation of package.
#./configure
configure ccid package
#make
make command
#make install
make install commandAs shown in the above figure, copy 92_pcscd_ccid.rules file from src directory to /etc/udev/rules.d/ directory.
Installation of OpenCT Reader driver
Prerequisite
OpenCT installation is also dependent on libltdl library, so following error appears during ./configure command.
openct Configure Error
Libltdl library is required for the successful compilation of openCT package. Installation process of library is shown in following figure.
openct libltdl-dev installation Download OpenCT package from ftp.de.debian.org website and extract it using following command which is also shown in following figures.
# wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openct/openct_0.6.20.orig.tar.gz
downloading openct package
#tar -xf openct_0.6.20.orig.tar.gz
extraction of openct
Run following commands for successful compilation of openCT package.
#./configure
openct configure process
#make
openct make process
#make all
openct makeall process
Installation of OpenSC
Now we will install open source tool for smart cards on linux distribution . OpenSC library supports smart cards of many vendors and can be installed on both linux and windows platforms.
Prerequisite
OpenSC uses Openssl for certain cryptographic operation on Smart Cards, so that if Openssl development library does not installed then ./configure script of OpenSC package shows that Openssl is not supported. It is highlighted in the following figure.
opensc configure error Therefore, first we have to install development library of Openssl using following command.
# apt-get install libssl-dev
libssl-dev for opensc packageDownload OpenSC package from cznic.dl.sourceforge.net website using wget utility.
#wget http://cznic.dl.sourceforge.net/project/opensc/OpenSC/opensc-0.14.0/opensc-0.14.0.tar.gz
opensc downloadExtraction of compress package is shown in the following figure.
#tar -xf opensc-0.14.0.tar.gz
extraction of opensc packageNow run ./configure to check the requirements for OpenSC package which is shown in the figure.
opensc configure processBy default OpenSC uses PCSC-lite for Smart Cards on linux , however it can be enabled using --enable-openct parameter which is shown below.
enable openct for OpenSCOn the completion of ./configure script, it shows following output. It indicates that Openssl and PCSC lite packages are installed and supported.
openssl support with openscNext run make and make install commands for OpenSC installation.
#make
opensc make
#make install
opensc makeinstallAfter the successful installation of OpenSC software, now run opensc-tool command in the terminal. Following error will appear in the terminal about the loading issue of libopensc.so.3 library. Error shows that required library does not exist on desirable path for opensc-tool command.
opensc-tool library issueTherefore,find the path of OpenSC libraries in the ubuntu distribution and copy under /usr/lib path.
opensc libraries pathCopying process for OpenSC libraries from /usr/local/lib/libopen* to /usr/lib is shown in the following figure. After copying process, opensc-tool works properly.
copying opensc librariesRun PCSC daemon from terminal and add new entry in /etc/rc.local to run it on boot time.
#pcscd
pcscd starting
We can use PC/SC and OpenCT supported smart card readers and OpenSC supported smart cards on Ubuntu system. As we have used sources of all required packages, so same steps will be used for other distributions
Conclusion
In this article, we focused on the usage of smart cards in Linux environment. We explained the installation of open source packages for smart cards readers and libraries for smart cards access. OpenSC is well-known open source project which provides the libraries for smart card access using PKCS#11. It is also used to perform cryptographic operation on smart cards using OpenSSL library.
