  • Stay away from anything proprietary. PC/SC is the right standard.
  • When talking about smart card readers, look for CCID compatible (cross-platform)
  • Look for an easy start, if you want to write applications on the smart card, learn about JavaCard-s. As a general rule about smart cards - the key information is about your card (lots of proprietary variations) not the reader (CCID is luckily quite common these days). Look for an easy start, use JavaCard-s.
  • Also do some homework: What is the meaning of 6E 00 when I send a command to a SmartCard
