GlobalPlatformPro from javacard.pro
Load and manage applets on compatible JavaCards from command line or from your Java project with a Do What I Mean approach.
Provides an easy to use and high level interface that most of the time JustWorks(TM), is flexible and 100% open source!
- Download latest pre-built .JAR or .EXE from release area
- Or fetch from GitHub and build it yourself, it is really easy:
git clone https://github.com/martinpaljak/GlobalPlatformPro
cd GlobalPlatformPro
ant
- SCP03 support in latest version
- Tentative milestones
- JavaCard Buyer's Guide of 2015
Beware: until v0.5 is released, both command line and Java API are subject to change without notice. Check back often.
Command line samples assume default test keys of 40..4F
. If you need custom keys, specify them with any or all of the following options: -keyid
-keyver
and -enc
-mac
-kek
or -key
(for a single master key). You need to know the details or ask your card provider. Some cards require key diversification with -emv
or -visa2
(you should be notified if that's the case).
-
Show some basic information about a card (failsafe):
java -jar gp.jar -info
-
On Windows just replace
java -jar gp.jar
withgp.exe
like this:gp.exe -info
-
On Linux it is easier to add an alias to the shell like this:
alias gp="java -jar $PWD/gp.jar" # Now you can avoid typing java -jar and gp works from any folder gp -h
-
-
List applets (this and following commands open the secure channel and thus can brick your card with wrong keys!):
gp -list # or gp -l
-
Delete current default applet:
gp -delete -default
-
Delete module
D27600012401
and all applets from it:gp -delete D27600012401 -deletedeps
-
Install applet.cap as default applet (with AID information from the CAP):
gp -install applet.cap -default
-
Install applet.cap (with AID information from the CAP):
gp -install applet.cap
-
Unistall applet.cap (with AID information from the CAP):
gp -uninstall applet.cap
-
Set
010B0371D78377B801F2D62AFC671D95
key to a card with default40..4F
keys:gp -lock 010B0371D78377B801F2D62AFC671D95
-
Set default
40..4F
keys to card that was previously locked with key010B0371D78377B801F2D62AFC671D95
:gp -key 010B0371D78377B801F2D62AFC671D95 -unlock
-
Set the default
40..4F
keys to a card that uses EMV diversification (like G&D):gp -emv -unlock
* note that you will have to use
--relax
option after this operation to get rid of the warning about probably needed diversification, which is not true any more. -
Set the default
40..4F
keys to a card that uses VISA2 diversification with the well-known mother key on a Gemalto card:gp -visa2 -key 47454D5850524553534F53414D504C45 -unlock -mode clr
-
Show APDU-s sent to the card:
add
-debug
or-d
to your command -
Be more verbose about decisions and conditions:
add
-verbose
or-v
to your command -
Don't use MAC on commands (plain GlobalPlatform syntax):
add
-mode clr
to your command (not supported on all cards) -
Show all options recognized by
gp
utility:add
-help
or-h
or--help
to yourgp
command
- For now consult the command line utility source code
- Rudimentary Javadoc
- General rules:

- NEW! JavaCard Buyer's Guide of 2015
- See TestedCards
- Generally speaking any modern JavaCard that speaks GlobalPlatform 2.1.1+
- Available cards from all major vendors have been tested for basic compatibility: Athena, Gemalto, Giesecke & Devrient, Infineon, NXP (JCOP), Oberthur
- If you are a smart card vendor please do get in touch for clarification and better support!
The ancestor of this code is GPJ (Global Platform for SmartCardIO) which is (still) available from http://gpj.sourceforge.net. I started the project because I felt that messing with cryptic script files was not nice and I wanted to have a simple, open source, usable and native-to-the-rest-of-development-environment (Java) toolchain.

- gpj (the grandparent) - http://gpj.sf.net (LGPL)
- written in Java
- not maintained
- harder to use from the command line
- no new features or standards
- GPShell + globalplatform library - http://sourceforge.net/projects/globalplatform/ (LGPL)
- written in C
- often referred to as the de facto open source GlobalPlatform implementation
- several components need to be compiled and installed before usage
- requires more complex "script files" and does not provide a direct command line utility
- jcManager - http://www.brokenmill.com/2010/03/java-secure-card-manager/ (LGPL)
- written in Java
- has a basic GUI
- old and not maintained
- gpjNG - https://github.com/SimplyTapp/gpjNG (LGPL)
- fork of gpj with minor additions, mostly a "script mode" that makes it similar to GPShell
- Ruby smartcard module - http://smartcard.rubyforge.org/classes/Smartcard/Gp/GpCardMixin.html (MIT)
- written in Ruby
- does not seem to expose all functionality (key diversification, key change etc)
- no command line utility
- JGPShell - https://sourceforge.net/projects/jgpshell/ (GPL2)
- written in Java
- GPShell-style scripting goal
- not really usable and also abandoned
- OPAL - https://bitbucket.org/ssd/opal (CeCILL, GPLv2 compatible)
- written in Java
- claims to have SCP03 support (but no tested cards)
- looks "heavy" and over-engineered
- smoke tests give exceptions and doesn't work on OSX nor Debian.
- gpcomm - https://code.google.com/p/gpcomm/
- written in Java
- incomplete and abandoned
- JCOP tools, RADIII, JCardManager4, JLoad, PyApduTool etc
- not publicly available cross-platform open source projects and thus not suitable for this comparision
- NEW! Have a look at milestones
- T+1 (v0.2.5)
Re-written command line utilityWindows .exe for ease of use-lock and -unlock commands for changing secure channel keys
- T+2 (v0.3.0)
- SCP03 v1.1.1 and GP2.2.1
- T+X (wishlist)
- Support for storing card management keys in PKCS#11 tokens (HSM)
- GPShell-style scripts (instead of Java)
- Simple GUI for basic operations/browsing
- focus on real life and practical daily use cases
- KISS, YAGNI, DWIM, no-NIH
- APDU-chat over javax.smartcardio to (most probably real) tokens
- thin and self-contained, re-usable, easy to integrate
- easily readable, auditable and secure codebase (less is more)
The promise of OpenKMS is similar* to OpenSSL:
Why buy a smart card software kit as a black box when you can get an open one for free?
In regard to GlobalPlatform, the goal is to make simple operations like installing and removing applets and locking the card with new keys as easy as next-next-done - you don't have to know the whole Global Platform specification by heart for that or buy a piece of proprietary software for a few hundred euros! For all those features that are not described in the GlobalPlatform specification that actually make your card work... you still have to use those proprietary commands, but OpenKMS GlobalPlatformPro toolkit's flexibility (and its license) should allow you to do that as well.
* With the difference that OpenKMS thrives for a easily usable and pleasantly readable, auditable and secure codebase. And yes, you have probably already sold your soul to the devil...
