GemPcCCID 4.1

GemPcCCID is a device driver and middleware package for CCID-compliant smart card readers, historically associated with Gemalto/Gemplus desktop readers such as the GemPC/IDBridge series. It exposes the reader to the operating system through the standard PC/SC interface so that security applications—like eID, enterprise authentication, digital signing, and online banking—can communicate with smart cards using ISO 7816 APDUs.

Key points:

• Purpose: Provides the CCID transport layer, card/reader detection, and event handling (insertion/removal) for PC/SC-compatible applications.
• Compatibility: Commonly used with GemPC Twin, GemPC Key, and related Gemalto/IDBridge USB readers.
• Features: Supports standard smart card protocols (T=0/T=1) and hot-plug operation; may enable secure PIN entry on supported hardware.
• Platforms: Historically available for Windows and macOS. Many modern systems include a generic CCID class driver, so GemPcCCID may be needed only for older OS versions or specific reader models.
• Requirements: PC/SC subsystem (e.g., Microsoft Smart Card service or PC/SC Lite) and administrative rights to install drivers.
• Notes: This is a driver, not an end-user application. Availability and maintenance status can vary, and newer OS releases often work with built-in CCID drivers as an alternative.
