The increase in internet connectivity has created new avenues for smart cards to be used as identity tokens in distributed on-line web-services. To make this possible, one must be able to read the card and communicate with it using an application. Off card APIs provide a framework for this by providing interfaces that can be implemented to enhance the communication. This study looks at the performance and security comparisons of several free and open source smart card offcard APIs that are currently in existence
