Description :
OpenSC is a package for for accessing smart card devices.  Basic
functionality (e.g. SELECT FILE, READ BINARY) should work on any ISO
7816-4 compatible smart card.  Encryption and decryption using private
keys on the smart card is possible with PKCS #15 compatible cards,
such as the FINEID (Finnish Electronic IDentity) card.  Swedish Posten
eID cards have also been confirmed to work.

* Creating files have an enforced upper size limit, 64K
* Support for multiple PKCS#15 applications with different AID-s. PKCS#15 applications can be listed with pkcs15-tool --list-applications. Binding to a specific AID with PKCS#15 tools can be done with --aid.
