javax.smartcardio.ATR

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public final class ATR
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

A Smart Card's answer-to-reset bytes. A Card's ATR object can be obtained by calling Card.getATR(). This class does not attempt to verify that the ATR encodes a semantically valid structure.

Instances of this class are immutable. Where data is passed in or out via byte arrays, defensive cloning is performed.
