Remote Loading

Last updated
The ReLo (Remote Loading) container is provided through the T1C (Trust1Connector) in order to provide a secured communication channel to executed APDU commands that are generated from a back-end service (which can be optionally signed by a HSM).
The ReLo provides smart card operations, like for example:
open/close session
execute APDUs (single or in bulk)
retrieve card/card reader features
verify if card present
retrieve ATR
...
The ReLo-API is an example back-end service implementing different smart card or token profiles (there is no limitation to smart cards). The T1V (Trust1Vault) is a Trust1Team product operating as a secured vault, and integrating with a HSM.
Available Functions
The following functions are available in the T1C-JS library:
The readerId is passed to thereaderapi
handler object on initialization. For example, opening a session on reader with idf56c0ffe15a07d09
would look like this:
All function return Promises by default.
If you prefer callbacks, each function also has an optional parameter to pass in a callback function. If a callback function is provided, the function will still return a promise, but the callback function will be called when the promise resolves/gets rejected.
For any function that accepts a sessionId
parameter, the parameter is optional. If a sessionId is provided, the corresponding session will be used for the request and then will be _kept open_once the request completes. This means that if this was the last request that needed to be made, the session needs to be explicitly closed with a call tocloseSession
.
If no sessionId is provided, the request will still complete, but the GCL will set up a new session, perform the required action and then close the session. This means that there is _no open session_once the request completes.
When a wrong sessionID is sent in a request, an error message will be returned. The status code will be 'invalid sessionID' or 'no active session' (see https://t1t.gitbooks.io/t1c-js-guide/content/status-codes.html).
All responses follow a similar structure:
The success
property indicates whether or not the request was completed successfully. The data
property is where returned information will be found; the type of data
varies with each function.
Opens a new session. Returns the sessionId, which will need to be stored by the client application for later use.
timeout (optional): session timeout in seconds. If not provided, will default to value set in GCLConfig. Must be a number > 0.
Sends a command to the reader for execution.
command(tx: string, sessionId?: string, callback: (error, data))
tx: command-string to be executed
sessionId (optional): sessionId to use. Required if the session needs to be kept open after the request completes.
Activates a specific CCID feature if it is available on the reader
ccid(feature: string, command: string, sessionId?: string, callback?: (error, data))
feature: feature to check
command: command to send to the ccid reader (hex format)
sessionId (optional): sessionId to use. Required if the session needs to be kept open after the request completes.
Closes currently open session.
closeSession(callback?: (error, data))
none
Checks if the card for this session is still present.
If no sessionId is provided, checks if a card is present in the reader.
isPresent(sessionId?: string, callback?: (error, data))
sessionId (optional): sessionId to use. Required if the session needs to be kept open after the request completes.
Retrieves the ATR for the card currently in the reader.
atr(sessionId?: string, callback?: (error, data))
sessionId (optional): sessionId to use. Required if the session needs to be kept open after the request completes.
Returns a list of available CCID features for the current reader.
ccidFeatures(sessionId?: string, callback?: (error, data))
sessionId (optional): sessionId to use. Required if the session needs to be kept open after the request completes.
Executes an APDU call on the current reader. The difference with the command
function is that theapdu
function takes an APDU object, whereas command
takes a string.
apdu(apdu: ApduObject, sessionId?: string, callback?: (error, data))
apdu: object containing the APDU to be executed
sessionId (optional): sessionId to use. Required if the session needs to be kept open after the request completes.
APDU Object interface:
For the apdu
and command
functions, it is possible to send an array of apdu's/commands.
Executes an array of APDU calls on the current reader.
apdu(apdu: ApduObject[], sessionId?: string, callback?: (error, data))
apdu: array containing the APDU objects to be executed
sessionId (optional): sessionId to use. Required if the session needs to be kept open after the request completes.
APDU Object interface:
Executes an array of commands on the current reader.
command(tx: string[], sessionId?: string, callback?: (error, data))
tx
: array containing the command strings to be executed
sessionId
(optional)
: sessionId to use. Required if the session needs to be kept open after the request completes.

Function
Input
Output
Description
openSession
session timeout in seconds
sessionId
Opens a remote session, the session will be accessible through a session-id. The T1C will keep the session open and reusable.
command
tx, sessionId (optional)
command response
A single command to be executed remotely. When no session is available, a new session will be opened and immediately closed after execution of the command.
command
tx[], sessionId (optional)
command response[]
One or more command to be executed remotely and sequentially. When no session is available, a new session will be opened and immediately closed after execution of the commands.
ccid
feature, command, sessionId (optional)
ccid response
Trigger a specific CCID feature.
closeSession
N/A
N/A
Close a session. When no session is available, a new session will be opened and closed. The T1C will be in its initial state.
isPresent
sessionId (optional)
boolean
Verify if a card is present. When no session is available, a new session will be opened and closed. The T1C will be in its initial state.
atr
sessionId (optional)
ATR for card
Retrieve ATR from card. When no session is available, a new session will be opened and closed. The T1C will be in its initial state.
ccidFeatures
sessionId (optional)
list of features
List of card readers features available for CCID. When no session is available, a new session will be opened and closed. The T1C will be in its initial state.
apdu
apdu object, sessionId (optional)
apdu response
Execute a single APDU command. When no session is available, a new session will be opened and closed. The T1C will be in its initial state.
apdu
apdu[], sessionId (optional)
apdu response[]
Execute one or more APDU commands (APDU bulk). When no session is available, a new session will be opened and closed. The T1C will be in its initial state.
