APDU command to get smart card uid

i am looking for APDU to find UID of contact less ISO 14443 smart card and how to use it to print in Linux terminal. Problem is that i found many people talking about it, but there is no solution. Can anyone help is this regard??? Thanks

Solution

  • See the other answer, it is likely that most readers do support the pass through to the card reader by now.

    Nobody can help as the UID is specified in the ISO 14443 T=CL transport protocol while APDU's are specified in the ISO 7816 application layer protocol.

    So you need access to a lower level API for your contactless reader. PCSC will not suffice (unless there has been a pass through implemented for the specific reader that returns the UID).
