ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for implementing an interface for ISO/7816 and NRSS cards with a single connector. The apparatus is a computer controlled device comprising a card reader further comprising an interface controller and a connector. The connector forms the interface between the card reader and the IC card. The interface controller determines whether the IC card inserted into the card reader is an ISO/7816 or NRSS card. Additionally, the interface controller implements the correct interface for the detected IC card. The method comprises the steps of determining whether a IC card is an ISO/7816 or NRSS card and implementing an interface for the identified IC card.
