JavaCard Algorithms Support Test Tool
Posted: Wed Jul 01, 2015 6:03 am
What it does?
1, Provides list of supported algorithms from JavaCard API including supported lengths of keys.
2, Provides basic speed tests for selected operations
The basic idea is simple - if the particular algorithm/key size is supported, then instance creation will succeed. Otherwise, CryptoException.NO_SUCH_ALGORITHM is thrown. This can be employed for fast test of supported algorithms. AlgTest applet tries to create instance of algorithms for all possible constants defined in JavaCard specification and eventually catch the exception (example for ALG_DES_CBC_NOPAD algorithm):
How to use it?
1, Upload AlgTest package to your smart card and install it. You may use pyApduTool to download cap and install applet .
2, Run AlgTestPC.exe, and choose the target reader for card with uploaded AlgTest applet and it can create a .*CSV file.
3, Open this *.cvs file, it shows as follows:
Note:
1, This Automated testing tool for algorithms supported by particular smart card with JavaCard platform and is running in PC.

Code: Select all
try {

// If this line is reached, than DES in CBC mode with no padding (ALG_DES_CBC_NOPAD) is supported.
supported = true;
}
catch (CryptoException e) {
if (e.getReason() == CryptoException.NO_SUCH_ALGORITHM)) {
// algorithm is not supported
supported = false;
}
else {
// other error occured
}
