Smart cards sample

Shows how to use the Windows.Devices.SmartCards API to work with smart cards and smart card readers programmatically.

Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. If you are unfamiliar with Git and GitHub, you can download the entire collection as a ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.

Specifically, this sample shows:

  • Creating a virtual smart card
  • Changing the PIN on a virtual smart card
  • Resetting the PIN on a virtual smart card
  • Changing the admin key
  • Verifying the response
  • Deleting a virtual smart card
  • Listing all the smart cards on the machine
  • Transmitting

Note: In order to create a virtual smart card using a UWP app, the user running the app must be a member of the administrators group. If the user is not a member of the administrators group, virtual smart card creation will fail.
