SECURITY
|
|
|
|
This file discusses security related issues with pcsc-lite and how to
|
|
handle them.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes it is dangerous to run daemons under a root account. If there is
|
|
a chance to exploit a buffer overflow you can protect sensitive information
|
|
by running it under a different account. It might be useful to create another
|
|
user with hardware priveledges and run pcscd as that user. Be sure this user
|
|
can manipulate the server sockets.

Application suggestions:
|
|
|
|
Make sure you Disconnect when you are not using the reader. Also be sure to
|
|
ReleaseContext before exiting your program.
