PKCS file system in Android

I would like to create an android application. In this application I would like to create a PKCS file system (like in Java Card applet) (not involving secure element) and perform cryptographic operations through APDU commands. Is it possible? Any valuable suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Yes, although APDU's are meant to be send over a T=0 or T=1 transmission protocol. You may map those on the internet protocol, but some mapping may be required.

    You could start with JCardSim which implements the Java Card specifications (in part) on the JRE. It will likely also run on Android, although you may have to make some modifications.
