SDK OVERVIEW

Our Software Developer's Kits (SDK) allow independent developers to use a SDK to give their application the ability to read and write to contactless smart card.

Complete command support for all HID iCLASS cards and tokens is provided. The AIR ID reader can read or write to any application area on the iCLASS credential (except page 0 application area 1), with all reader functions controlled by the SDK via the USB or RS-232 serial port.

The SDK also returns all bits from the  ID area of the token.

The SDK is full-featured and easy to integrate.  Complete with your choice of the USB or RS-232 desktop read/write reader, software examples in C++ and Visual Basic.  All platforms are supported.

See High Level Commands below
