How do I open/close a Secure Channel

Created May 7, 2012

To implement the INITIALIZE UPDATE and EXTERNAL AUTHENTICATE commands, you respectively have to use:

  • ProviderSecurityDomain.openSecureChannel()
  • ProviderSecurityDomain.verifyExternalAuthenticate()

Closing a secure channel may be performed explicitly with ProviderSecurityDomain.closeSecureChannel(). Other events will implicitly close a secure channel: card reset, wrong MAC, etc.
