Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

NOTE: This application was created to test the communication between the terminal and smart card using APDU commands* (txt file required**). The "NFC Card Emulator" is an application created to test the communication unit between the smart card reader and the smart card. It uses the Host-Based Card Emulation (HCE) method in the testing process. With this application, a smart card can be emulated and the communication between this emulated card and the smart card reader can be observed to check whether the system works as desired. ======== * This application was created to emulate a real APDU communication scenario prepared in txt format. It DOES NOT COPY any smart card using NFC technology. ** To have a real APDU communication scenario, you may need to be an authorized programmer. ======== For Visa and Mastercard sample APDU communication, please visit the source code page below; https://github.com/okanatas/NFCCardEmulator
