I have a Ruby on Rails web app via which I want to access my smart card reader connected to my PC via a USB.
The idea is to press a button in the web app to initiate read action in the card reader.[I have a ruby script to read the data serially].I however want to extend the functionality to the web app,i.e. when the user clicks the read button on the webapp the card details are read via the card reader and displayed in the web page(Ruby on Rails web app). I am not sure on how to go about it. These are some of the "sources" that I have encountered online which might be the possible way:
Are you saying that you want a web page running in a browser has access to your card reader? Do you think it is a good idea to allow the browser to do that? What about a malicious website doing it and sending your card details across the internet?
