Read smart card ID number and emulate a keyboard to paste it as text.

Project description

Smartcard Identifier

This is an extremely simple smartcard system that reads only the smart card's ID number, and pastes it as text into the currently open application. This can be used for applications that rely on nothing more than the identity of the scanned card, such as an authentication system in a low-security environment.

Installation

Download for macOS

Smartcard Identifier is compatible with Linux, macOS, and Windows. Currently an installer is only available for macOS, so on other systems you'll have to run the Python script from a terminal:

$ pip3 install smartcard-identifier
$ smartcard-identifier --help

Release Process

To build the python package and the macOS package installer, first increment the version in pyproject.toml, then run the following:

$ make all
