Systems and methods for testing smart card operation

Abstract:

Methods and systems are presented for testing smart card operations and functions for multiple smart cards and associated readers. The methods and systems use a multiplexer and a demultiplexer to connect smart card sockets to probe cards that can be inserted into smart card readers using actuators. The methods and systems described herein test a response of a selected smart card reader or terminal connected to the smart card reader to insertion of the probe card.
