Support USB Pluss ID card reader

[artizirk]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have a g10 Code v2.1 OpenPGP card and a Pluss ID smart card reader that seems to be based on a Realtek chip (USB ID: 0bda:0165).

Currently this card reader is not detected at all in termbot.

This card reader works quite well under linux with pcsclite 1.8.25 and ccid 1.4.30. This card reader is also quite popular in Estonia for usage with our national ID card.

Interesting request. We actually support some smart card readers in our SDK, but this feature is currently disabled since this support is experimental and unstable.

Also, I have a Pluss ID reader here and it currently does not work, so we would need to make adjustments for it.

Out of curiosity: What is your current setup? PGP card -> Pluss ID -> USB-A-to-USB-micro-adapter -> Android device? What device are you using? Isn't this kinda fragile?

I'm using Samsung S10e with its included usb a to usb c adapter. It's kinda fragile but okay for occasional usage.

I just released a new version on Google Play, where I allow untested USB card readers.

I suspect it still does not work with your Pluss ID reader, but you could try now and report back the error.

What has been tested and works:

• ACS ACR1252 (great!, contactless)
• SCM Microsystems Inc. SCR 3310 (contact)
• Gemalto Prox DU (contact+contactless)
