v2.3.0

• Compliant to the latest SIMalliance Open Mobile API Specification V2.02 (transport layer only)
• SmartCard API is only based on the Open Mobile API SIMalliance
• The namespace "android.smartcard" was completely removed
• SmartCard API is only provided as shared library.

v2.2.2

• SmartCard API is only provided as shared library.
• SmartCard API is only based on the Open Mobile API SIMalliance
• The SmartCard API can be extended with the old API (V 1.X) with the backward compatibilty add on patch.

v2.2.1

• Fully compliant to the latest SIMalliance Open Mobile API Specification (V1.01)
• New SE Access Control Enforcer can restrict the access to Secure Elements by predefined policies. See the SE Access Control description.
• CTS extension for SmartCard API. (Some corrections were made to enable CTS also for the shared library based SmartCard API)
• Support of ASSD to access SD memory cards with an embedded security system (Note: The also provided ASSD kernel patch for creating the ASSD kernel driver has to be used for enabling the ASSD support)
• The ASSD solution replaces the interim proprietary solution "MSC" for accessing a Secure SD cards.
• SmartCard API is also provided as a shared library. A new alternative (but experimental) solution.
