Abstract
The claimed subject matter can provide an architecture that can transparently provide more robust interactions between a host device and a smartcard or other mass media storage device by way of block level read or write operations provided as part of a standard interface protocol. A virtual controller can be installed on the smartcard to manage access to the data store of a smartcard. The virtual controller can provide special objects (e.g., files, directories, partitions . . . ) to the host, and upon an access to one of these special files, call an application to manage pre- or post-processing of the data transferred between the host and the smartcard.
