Components

EstEID.java

Encapsulates all the APDU protocol knowledge and exposes high-level and meaningful API for making operations with the card (more precisely: on-card application). Can talk to any PC/SC terminal or somethig else exposed via javax.smartcardio CommandAPDU/ResponseAPDU pairs.

Exception handling:

• IOException when transmit fails
• EstEIDException when card protocol (or data formats) have unexpected situations
• WrongPINException when a passed in PIN is incorrect

Source: EstEID.java
