如何创建RFID应用程序以读取HID OMNIKEY 5427 CK

Question

My coworkers and I are trying to create a Java program to read cards with a HID OMNIKEY 5427 CK. We have no previous experience with RFID and checked: https://support.impinj.com/hc/communities/public/questions/201883748-How-do-I-create-RFID-applications-with-Java-

for some sample code (we haven't been able to find much sample code apart from this), which we have adapted and used, but when running our code we get

java.nio.channels.UnresolvedAddressException
at sun.nio.ch.Net.checkAddress(Unknown Source)
at sun.nio.ch.SocketChannelImpl.connect(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.mina.transport.socket.nio.SocketConnector.connect(SocketConnector.java:187)
at org.apache.mina.transport.socket.nio.SocketConnector.connect(SocketConnector.java:137)
at org.apache.mina.common.support.BaseIoConnector.connect(BaseIoConnector.java:40)
at org.llrp.ltk.net.LLRPConnector.connect(LLRPConnector.java:135)
at org.llrp.ltk.net.LLRPConnector.connect(LLRPConnector.java:116)
at hellojavaltk.HelloJavaLtk.connect(HelloJavaLtk.java:212)
at hellojavaltk.HelloJavaLtk.run(HelloJavaLtk.java:227)
at hellojavaltk.HelloJavaLtkMain.main(HelloJavaLtkMain.java:9)​

code is basically:

public class HelloJavaLtkMain
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException
{
HelloJavaLtk app = new HelloJavaLtk();

System.out.println("Starting reader.");
app.run("HID-OMNIKEY-5427-CK");
Thread.sleep(30000);
System.out.println("Stopping reader.");
app.stop();
System.out.println("Exiting application.");
System.exit(0);
}
}

and HelloJavaLtk is a class that implements the LLRPEndpoint interface, basically copy-pasted form the link above.

So we don't know if we are just not addressing the device correctly with that run("HID-OMNIKEY-5427-CK") or if we should be doing something completely different when trying to reach that Endpoint.

We would appreciate any help if somebody has been able to use the OMNIKEY-5427-CK (or other card readers) with Java code, could point us to other code examples or give us further insights on what are we doing wrong.

Thanks all.

Answer 1

The HID OMNIKEY 5427 CK is a PC/SC (CCID) compliant smartcard reader. The library you are trying to use is intended for EPC RFID readers. This Omnikey reader is accessed through PC/SC, however. Current Oracle Java has built in support for access to PC/SC smartcard readers using the Java SmartcardIO API .

Answer 2

I think the code you are using is not compatible, as it looks to work with LLRP protocol and your device supports CCID and keyboard wedge.

CCID:

I couldn't find the documentation for your device, however it looks like CCID might work using a serial connection, if that's the case you can use RXTX to connect to the device ( http://mfizz.com/oss/rxtx-for-java ), and then send commands and read responses from it.

This is a small example:

// change to right port
CommPortIdentifier portIdentifier = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifier("/dev/ttyS0"); 
    if (portIdentifier.isCurrentlyOwned()) {
        throw new RfidReaderUnavailableException();
    } else {
        CommPort commPort = portIdentifier.open(this.getClass().getName(), 2000);
        if (commPort instanceof SerialPort) {
            SerialPort serialPort = (SerialPort) commPort;
            // This details have to match your device configuration or it won't work
            serialPort.setSerialPortParams(9600, SerialPort.DATABITS_8, SerialPort.STOPBITS_1, SerialPort.PARITY_NONE);
            serialPort.setFlowControlMode(SerialPort.FLOWCONTROL_RTSCTS_IN | SerialPort.FLOWCONTROL_RTSCTS_OUT);

            in = serialPort.getInputStream();
            out = serialPort.getOutputStream();

            <-- Here you write the commands on out and read the responses from in -->

        } else {
            System.out.println("Error: Only serial ports are handled by this.");
        }
   }

In case CCID doesn't support serial communication they will have to provide a driver for it. If the driver doesn't come with Java compatibility then you will need to write a JNI wrapper to use it from your Java code.

Keyboard wedge:

The functionality on this mode will be probably reduced to write the card id as if it was a keyboard, much like barcode scanners. you won't be able to tell from keyboard input and the reader and you wont be able to read or write data from the card memory either, however it might work for you depending of what your app has to achieve.

Answer 3

I know this is very old question, Since I didn't find a working example anywhere with command, With the below code you can get the ATR and UID of the card.

TerminalFactory factory = TerminalFactory.getDefault(); 
List<CardTerminal> terminals = factory.terminals().list();
System.out.println("Terminals: " + terminals);
// get the first terminal
CardTerminal terminal = terminals.get(0);

// establish a connection with the card
Card card = terminal.connect("*");
System.out.println("card: " + card);
ATR atr = card.getATR();
System.out.println("Card ATR: " + DatatypeConverter.printHexBinary(atr.getBytes()));
CardChannel channel = card.getBasicChannel();
CommandAPDU commandAPDU;
commandAPDU = new CommandAPDU(new byte[]{(byte) 0xFF,(byte) 0xCA,(byte) 0x00,(byte) 0x00,(byte) 0x00});             
ResponseAPDU r = channel.transmit(commandAPDU);
System.out.println("Response: " + r.toString() + ", NR: " + r.getNr());
String hex = DatatypeConverter.printHexBinary(r.getBytes());
System.out.println("Response: " + hex);
System.out.println("Card UID: " + DatatypeConverter.printHexBinary(r.getData()));
byte[] copyOf = Arrays.copyOf(r.getBytes(), r.getNr());
System.out.println("Card UID from bytes: " + DatatypeConverter.printHexBinary(copyOf));
// disconnect
card.disconnect(false);
