The Prox–DU and the Prox–SU devices were designed to be fully compliant with the latest
PC/SC specification.
The software design considerations presented in the PC/SC specification address the
development of applications built on the architecture presented in the figure below.
This paragraph describes the way Smart Card-aware applications can use the functionality
provided by the smart card. By using the Smart Card Resource Manager and the Service
Provider layers, an application can use smart card functionality with some level of
independence from a specific reader, or to some extent, from a specific smart card.
