# Welcome to the Virtual Smart Card Architecture documentation!

Welcome to the Virtual Smart Card Architecture. Virtual Smart Card Architecture is an umbrella project for various projects concerned with the emulation of different types of smart card readers or smart cards themselves.

The Virtual Smart Card Architecture connects different aspects of smart card handling

Currently the following projects are part of Virtual Smart Card Architecture:

- Virtual Smart Card
- Remote Smart Card Reader
- Android Smart Card Emulator
- Tizen Smart Card Emulator
- PC/SC Relay
- USB CCID Emulator

Looking for a feature the included programs do not offer? Want to extend the functionality of some library? Apart from requesting a new feature, you can have a look at these programming guides and try yourself:

- Creating a Virtual Smart Card

## Download

You can download the latest release of the Virtual Smart Card Architecture here. Older releases are still available at the old project location.
