Keyple Card Calypso Library

Overview

DescriptionThe Keyple Card Calypso Library is a card extension add-on to manage Calypso® cards.
Intended AudienceDevelopers creating Keyple-based Calypso applications.
Compatible OSWindows, Linux, macOS, Android.
Security NoteFor card transactions that need to be secured by cryptographic calculations using symmetrical keys (SAM or HSM) or asymmetrical keys (PKI), it is mandatory to use one of the dedicated crypto libraries (Open SAM, Legacy SAM, PKI). At present, only the Calypso Crypto Legacy SAM and the Calypso Crypto PKI libraries are available.

C++ Specific Information

Versioning

The Keyple C++ implementation is a transposition of the Java version. As a result, the C++ version may lag behind the Java version by one or more release cycles.

To make version correspondence explicit:

  • The Java implementation follows Semantic Versioning (SemVer) with three digits:
    MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
  • The C++ implementation uses four digits:
    MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.CPP_FIX

In this scheme, the first three digits of the C++ version reflect the corresponding Java source version, while the fourth digit represents any C++-specific fixes or adjustments.

UML Class Diagrams

The class structure of the C++ implementation is directly inspired by the UML class diagrams of the Java version, ensuring conceptual and architectural consistency between both languages.

User Guides

The user guides mainly provide Java code snippets, but the same concepts and logic are directly transposable to the C++ implementation.
