I am learning Java smart card API.

Using pcsc_scan on Ubuntu, it says that the card is not listed in smartcard_list.txt and the ATR is proprietary.

As I understand I must know how the data is written in order to read it with APDU commands but since its proprietary, it may be a problem.

I just want to get the ID of the card and no other information. Is that possible or not?

So what have you tried in terms of the Java smartcardio API? The output you get from the `pcsc_scan` tool only tells you that the card is not known (ie. not listed in the smartcard_list.txt). That's not necessarily a problem. – Mike Dinescu Dec 26 '13 at 19:31
What card are you using? What card reader are you using? – Michael Roland Dec 26 '13 at 20:40
