Freelance C++ or C# Developer for Cordova Plugin Application (1 Month Contract) - remote
Smart Card Project
Background:
Neptune Software is a low-code platform that specializes in creating applications across all devices using Cordova. We need to develop a plugin that can access data held on a smart card through the smart card middleware’s C or Java APIs. The plugin should be callable from a Cordova application as per this tutorial.
We already have sample C and Java apps that achieve the needed functionality, but we need to incorporate their code into a Windows Cordova application. Doing so requires creating a Windows Runtime Component (C++ or C#) that communicates with the smart card’s middleware via C and Java APIs. This Windows Runtime Component is really the plugin that is called by the Neptune Software Application. Ideally the code will look as follows on the client-side:
let certificate = window.getCertificateFromSmartCard();
We want to be able to acquire the signature from the smart card in order to sign PDF documents. “Signing”here means to grab the smart card’s certificate and post it to a database along with the PDF. Also, we must acquire and list all other data on the smart card. All operations are “read-only”from the smart card.
Expectations and Goals:
- Deliver a Windows application that can successfully access all information available on the smart card through the APIs.
- Work closely with a Neptune employee, demonstrate the application to him and explain how it works.
- Deliver project under 1 month.
