What is OpenCard?

OCF, i.e., the "OpenCard Framework", is a standardized, easy-to-use framework for implementing Smartcard-enabled solutions and Smartcard based services.

OCF capitalizes on the broad, cross-platform benefits of Java, providing an open architecture and a set of common APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) geared for this purpose.

The OpenCard Framework is Open Source and freely available on the web; it is specified and distributed by an industry consortium: the OpenCard Consortium.
