Smart Card Resource Manager

  • Article

Smart cards often are used in conjunction with security and personal privacy. Wherever possible, the resource manager uses the security mechanisms that exist within the underlying operating system (OS) when accessing a reader or smart card. The smart card resource manager manages the access to readers and smart cards. It identifies and tracks resources, allocates readers and resources across multiple applications, and supports transaction primitives for accessing services that are available on a specified smart card.

The resource manager can be accessed either directly through the resource manager API or indirectly through any service provider. The resource manager API is a set of Windows CE functions that provide direct access to the services of the resource manager.

The following sections provide an overview of the resource manager functions.
