This is the source code for the samples in the book
"Smart Card Application Development Using Java".

There are three samples and therefore three packages
(in the Java meaning of the word package):

Package samples.readfile
       The simplest possible example for reading
       a file from a smart card

Package samples.stockbroker
       The card handling part of a demo application
       that allows to buy stock over the internet and
       digitally sign the purchase order.  Since the
       card provided with the book is not capable of
       RSA algorithms for digital signature, only the
       card reading and writing will actually work,
       although the signature code is provided to show
       the complete card handling.

Package samples.business
       The card handling part of a demo application
       that allows to exchange business card information
       via smart cards.  This code can not be executed
       with the card provided with the book.  Rather it
       needs a Java Card.  The on-card code (BizCard*.java)
       and the off-card code is provided.  It has been
       tested with an IBM "Smart Card for e-business".
       To run it with other Java Cards might require
       a few adaptions.
