Debian seems to be one of the few distributions without a packaged version of this driver. I intend to fix this :-).
REINER SCT mention that they're working on a Debian package in the README file. I contacted them about the package along with a dependency issue, but didn't get an answer on the packaging thing or a planned release date. As it's LGPL licensed, I think it makes sense to package it right away.
This library is needed for PKI applications using the CT-API[1] with the ReinerSCT USB card readers. I've successfully tested the lib with SecCommerce's SecSigner300 Java Applet[2], which is used by a large financial group here in Austria. In some cases, the applet commits suicide which will kill Firefox :-/. I'll debug this ASAP and ask SecCommerce to fix it. One of these cases is a running pcscd[3] - probably there's something wrong with the locking mechanism for the ttyUSBn port.
PKI is starting to fly here in Austria, as major banks, the postal service and other organizations are playing registration offices for a large certification service provider (A-Trust)[4]. Applications include of course all the bank transactions that were formerly using PINs and TANs (TransAktionsNummer, German for transaction code), signing e-mails, but also digital signatures that are legally binding according to the law.[5]
