 The ATR of the Aladdin eToken Pro is analysed like this using ATR_analysis [1]:

ATR: 3B F2 18 00 02 C1 0A 31 FE 58 C8 09 75
 + TS = 3B --> Direct Convention
 + T0 = F2, Y(1): 1111, K: 2 (historical bytes)
  TA(1) = 18 --> Fi=372, Di=12, 31 cycles/ETU (115200 bits/s at 3.57 MHz)
  TB(1) = 00 --> VPP is not electrically connected
  TC(1) = 02 --> Extra guard time: 2
  TD(1) = C1 --> Y(i+1) = 1100, Protocol T = 1
 -----
  TC(2) = 0A --> Work waiting time: 960 x 10 x (Fi/F)
  TD(2) = 31 --> Y(i+1) = 0011, Protocol T = 1
 -----
  TA(3) = FE --> IFSC: 254
  TB(3) = 58 --> Block Waiting Integer: 5 - Character Waiting Integer: 8
 + Historical bytes: C8 09
  Category indicator byte: C8 (proprietary format)
 + TCK = 75 (correct checksum)

 Possibly identified card (using /home/lroussea/.smartcard_list.txt):

3B F2 18 00 02 C1 0A 31 FE 58 C8 09 75
        Siemens CardOS V4.2B


 The T=1 protocol is declared in TD1 and TD2. I guess that confuses
 pcsc-lite on Leopard. A similar bug as been reported in [2]. I added
 you case.


To be honest, I can't say I fully understand what this means. However, I have another card that has both T=1 in TD(1) and TD(2), and that one works in Leopard in the same reader. It's an IBM JCOP card, pcsc_scan produces this under Linux:

ATR: 3B EE 00 00 81 31 FE 45 00 31 80 71 86 65 01 67 02 A0 0A 83 90 00 1B
+ TS = 3B --> Direct Convention
+ T0 = EE, Y(1): 1110, K: 14 (historical bytes)
  TB(1) = 00 --> VPP is not electrically connected
  TC(1) = 00 --> Extra guard time: 0
  TD(1) = 81 --> Y(i+1) = 1000, Protocol T = 1
-----
  TD(2) = 31 --> Y(i+1) = 0011, Protocol T = 1
-----
  TA(3) = FE --> IFSC: 254
  TB(3) = 45 --> Block Waiting Integer: 4 - Character Waiting Integer: 5
+ Historical bytes: 00 31 80 71 86 65 01 67 02 A0 0A 83 90 00
  Category indicator byte: 00 (compact TLV data object)
    Tag: 3, len: 1 (card service data byte)
      Card service data byte: 80
        - Application selection: by full DF name
        - EF.DIR and EF.ATR access services: by GET RECORD(s) command
        - Card with MF
    Tag: 7, len: 1 (card capabilities)
      Selection methods: 86
        - DF selection by full DF name
        - Short EF identifier supported
        - Record number supported
    Tag: 6, len: 5 (pre-issuing data)
      Data: 01 67 02 A0 0A
    Mandatory status indicator (3 last bytes)
      LCS (life card cycle): 83 (Proprietary)
      SW: 9000 (Normal processing.)
+ TCK = 1B (correct checksum)


I'm not sure if this piece of information may help Apple fixing their CCID driver.



I can reproduce the bug using the Apple CCID driver (CCIDClassDriver)
but not using my CCID driver [1]. I reported the bug to Apple.

I suggest you to install a working driver for your reader.

Cheers, this card now shows up as 'OpenSC card' in the KeyChain (I had initialised it with pkcs15-tool on a Linux box). It works fine, I've also been able to use 'scssh' successfully (it might be off topic, but I've tested this with OpenSC that comes with SCA 0.2.3pre2).


Best wishes,

Bruno.
