asterix is a framework for communication with smartcards based on pyscard

It consists of:

formutil a module with formatting utilities

GAF a module for representation and evaluation of ASN1 structures

mycard a module providing handy primitives for card communication

APDU a module for creation and transmission of common APDU to a smartcard

SCP02 an implementation of Secure Channel Protocol 02 as defined in Global platform

SCP03 an implementation of Secure Channel Protocol 03 as defined in Global platform

applet a module for loading, installation and deletion of JavaCard applets to a smartcard

CAT a module implementing Card Application Toolkit as defined in ETSI TS 102.223

SecurePacket a module implementing Secure Packet for OTA communication with smartcards

auth3G a module implementing authentication and key agreement in 3G/4G networks (namely Milenage algorithm)

All modules are platform independent, working with Python 2.7

All modules relies on pyscard, a package implementing PCSC layer for communication with smartcards.

See wiki

The asterix framework is packaged using the standard distutils python module. It is pure python implementation.

Unzip asterix-.zip, cd asterix- and run python setup.py install

The asterix framework depends on the following packages:

• pyscard >= 1.6.16
• PyCrypto >= 2.6.1
• ECDSA >= 0.11
