Overview

This repository contains C++ source files aligned with the Terminal Generic Card specifications proposed by the Calypso Networks Association. This C++ interface is a port of the Keypop Generic Card Java API, which remains the primary reference implementation. The C++ version aims to closely follow and maintain compatibility with the Java version, ensuring consistent functionality and adherence to the established specifications.

The focus of this project is on providing interface definitions essential for selecting and operating transactions with generic (non-Calypso specific) smart cards. These interfaces serve as a foundational layer that can be extended and customized to suit specific application needs, while ensuring consistency across implementations, which is essential for enabling certification processes.

While the codebase primarily consists of header files, some .cpp files are included for internal consistency testing and validation.

Key Characteristics

Interface-Driven Design: The main source files define structures and interfaces. Concrete implementations can be provided by developers as per their specific requirements.
Modular Interfaces: Designed to support modular extensions, allowing developers to implement custom functionality while adhering to the standardized interface structure defined by this project.
Compliance: Aligned with the specifications of the Calypso Networks Association, ensuring that implementations conform to recognized standards, which is crucial for the terminal generic card layer certification.

Dependencies

This API relies on the Keypop Reader C++ API for card reader and card selection related interfaces.

Usage

To use the interface definitions in your project, include the relevant headers in your source files and provide concrete implementations of the defined interfaces as needed.
