title: Reading data from a Smart Card (preferably with Java)
body: <p>I would like to be able to read a few bytes of unencrypted data which is stored in a smart card. I have the reader and know that the Sun version of Java 6 includes javax.smartcardio and I have read a bit about these APIs.</p>
  
  <p>Having never worked with smart cards before I wonder if there is a simple way to read bytes of date in a given sector of a smart card. I am not trying to do anything more complicated that that but was hoping someone in this community has had experience of working with Smart Cards.</p>
  
  <p>The specific chips being used in the cards are: JTOP 10/18k </p>
