CardServiceInterface

All Known Subinterfaces:

CHVCardService, CHVCardServiceWithControl, CHVManagementCardService, FileAccessCardService, FileSystemCardService, IsoFileSystemCardService, KeyGenerationCardService, KeyGenerationCardServiceWithSpec, SignatureCardService

All Known Implementing Classes:

IsoCardService, SmartCardHSMCardService
```
public interface CardServiceInterface
```
An interface to the public methods in CardService. The optional parts of OCF define interfaces to standard card services, for example for file access. Since interfaces cannot extend classes, this interface provides access to the public methods in class SmartCard. It will be extended by the standard service interfaces.
Without this interface, applications would have to downcast from a particular interface to class CardService in order to access these methods. The exception to this rule is the method getCHVDialog, which is not intended to be invoked by an application.
