Smartcard API

API that provides a function that reads and writes card data.

BS2CSNCard

typedef struct {
    uint8_t type;
    uint8_t size;
    uint8_t data[BS2_CARD_DATA_SIZE];
} BS2CSNCard;

1. type
The code value of card type. The card type is to indicate the purpose of the card. When transferring a user from device to server, the Access card will be used only to keep the issue history, since the Access card will work on its own without any user information.

0x00 Unknown card
0x01 CSN card
0x02 Secure card
0x03 Access card

0xEA Wiegand card BS2WiegandMultiConfig.formats[13]
0xFA Wiegand card BS2WiegandMultiConfig.formats[14]

2. size
This is the size of the data buffer. This field needs to be filled with a fixed value as '32'.

3. data
The data of card template.
In case of Secure Credential Card(SCC), users need to have card information which includes Card ID(24byte), issueCount(4byte) and TimeStamp(4byte). Also, cardObjs array of BS2UserBlob structure should be filled for SCC cards and the user should be updated after SCC issuing.

Tip
You can use any value as long as the data and the cardObj in BS2UserBlob match.
TimeStamp or issueCount is an operational flag for better management but there's no validation check for TimeStamp or issueCount on the device.

BS2SmartCardHeader

typedef struct {
    uint16_t hdrCRC;
    uint16_t cardCRC;
    BS2_CARD_TYPE cardType;
    uint8_t numOfTemplate;
    uint16_t templateSize;
    uint16_t issueCount;
    uint8_t duressMask;
    uint8_t cardAuthMode;
    uint8_t useAlphanumericID;
    uint8_t cardAuthModeEx;
    uint8_t numOfFaceTemplate;
    uint8_t reserved[1];
} BS2SmartCardHeader;

1. hdrCRC
Value of card header checksum. (cardCRC - reserved)

2. cardCRC
Value of card data checksum. (BS2SmartCardHeader.cardType - BS2SmartCardData.accessOnData)

3. cardType
Code of card types.

Value Description
0x00 Unknown card
0x01 CSN card
0x02 Secure card
0x03 Access card
0x0A Wiegand card
0x0B Config ​card ​

4. numOfTemplate
Number of templates.

Based on AoC structure, template data is stored in BS2SmartCardCredentials.
Here you can store either fingerprint or face template. Both fingerprint and face templates can not be stored together.
Thus, you have to set numOfFacetemplate = 0 if you want to store fingerprint template data.

5. templateSize
Size of the template. A normal fingerprint template is a fixed 384 byte.
If you are using a smart card the default in BioStar 2 is 300 bytes and you can change as required but we recommend that you set it above 300 bytes because if the template size is too small it can cause fingerprint matching issues because of the lack of information in the template.

6. issueCount
Number of smart card issue count.

7. duressMask
Mask for whether there is a duress finger.
8. cardAuthMode
IR Face based Card authentication mode.
Visual Face based Please use cardAuthModeEx instead

Value Description
2 Card only
3 Card + Fingerprint
4 Card + PIN
5 Card + Fingerprint or PIN
6 Card + Fingerprint + PIN
254 Cannot use
255 Not defined(System defined mode)

9. useAlphanumericID
Flag of usage of Alphanumeric ID
10. cardAuthModeEx
IR Face based Please use cardAuthMode instead
[+ V2.7.1] Visual Face based Card authentication mode

Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
21 Card
22 Card Face
23 Card Fingerprint
24 Card PIN
25 Card Face or Fingerprint
26 Card Face or PIN
27 Card Fingerprint or PIN
28 Card Face or Fingerprint or PIN
29 Card Face Fingerprint
30 Card Face PIN
31 Card Fingerprint Face
32 Card Fingerprint PIN
33 Card Face or Fingerprint PIN
34 Card Face Fingerprint or PIN
35 Card Fingerprint Face or PIN
254 Cannot use
255 Not defined(System defined mode)

11. numOfFaceTemplate
Number of face templates.
Basic size of template is different between fingerprint and face(Fingerprint:384, Face:552).
You can consider the total size of templateData in BS2SmartCardCredentials.

Based on AoC structure, template data is stored in BS2SmartCardCredentials.
Here you can store either fingerprint or face template. Both fingerprint and face templates can not be stored together.
Thus, you have to set numOftemplate = 0 if you want to store face template data.

12. reserved
Reserved

BS2SmartCardCredentials

typedef struct {
    uint8_t pin[BS2_PIN_HASH_SIZE];
    uint8_t templateData[BS2_SMART_CARD_MAX_TEMPLATE_COUNT * BS2_FINGER_TEMPLATE_SIZE];
} BS2SmartCardCredentials;

1. pin
Value of PIN.

2. templateData
List of fingerprint template data area, which can be stored up to 4 fingerprint templates.

BS2AccessOnCardData

typedef struct {
    uint16_t accessGroupID[BS2_SMART_CARD_MAX_ACCESS_GROUP_COUNT];
    BS2_DATETIME startTime;
    BS2_DATETIME endTime;
} BS2AccessOnCardData;

1. accessGroupID
List of access group IDs.

2. startTime
Starting time where a user can authenticate. When it is set as 0, there are no limits.

3. endTime
Ending time where a user can authenticate. When it is set as 0, there are no limits.

BS2SmartCardData

typedef struct {
    BS2SmartCardHeader header;
    uint8_t cardID[BS2_CARD_DATA_SIZE];
    BS2SmartCardCredentials credentials;
    BS2AccessOnCardData accessOnData;
} BS2SmartCardData;    

1. header
Smart card header.

2. cardID
Card ID that will be used on the card.
Access on Cards will need to use the 32 byte array for the card ID.
Secure Credential Cards will need to use a 24 byte array for the card ID.
In case of Secure Credential Card(SCC), users need to have card information which includes Card ID(24byte), issueCount(4byte) and TimeStamp(4byte).
Also, cardObjs array of BS2UserBlob structure should be filled for SCC cards and the user should be updated after SCC issuing.

3. credentials
Authentication data area where the PIN or fingerprint template is stored.

4. accessOnData
Data area the AOC card uses, which carries the access group information.

}BS2Card;   

1. isSmartCard
Decides whether it is a smart card.
