[Pcsclite-muscle] Serial non-usb readers - Help required

[Hemanth Kumar]

Can somebody please explain me if my design makes sense.?

Usecase:
Create a bluetooth smart card reader (no USB)
Mobile app has a virtual smart card (this is already available).
Mobile device connects to Macbook over BLE.
The BT smart card reader will talk with the virtual smart card over BLE link

What I think I should do:
1. Create a new IFD serial handler driver (ccid shared object file)
which can talk over a host and port (or a serial port). The PC/SC
interface should identify this serial driver as a smart card reader.
(I dont know how to make this happen).
2. Create a new BLE peripheral on mac OSx and start advertising its
characteristics
3. Mobile device connects to the mac BLE peripheral
4. Once mobile device is connected, the serial smart card driver
socket is open/connected and read/write streams are defined. Mobile
device mimics the smart card, which instructs the smart card reader
that the smart card has been inserted.
5. The serial smart card reader assumes the smart card is connected
and starts to query using APDU commands

Have I understood this right? What am I missing?

Any help appreciated.
