Reading ID cards in the web

Question

I'm interested in being able to read ID cards(Belgian ID cards if that matters) using the idcard reader.

After some research I came across this blog which seems great, but it does require .NET to be able to run. I also found e-contract which allows us to do the same, but it does require jboss.

However, I would want to implement it with Salesforce, so I would prefer using HTML/JS and any JS libraries needed.

Is there any library/trick that I can use to be able to read the data from the microchip directly into browser?

From the EID developers guide, it looks like you can only use C++, Java and dotNet languages. It does not look very promising for JS in this matter :/ – Castellated

@Castellated thanks for your reply. I've seen it and that's why I asked if there is any library or trick to bypass it. – Oller

Did you find anything? Looking for the same thing. – Belter

@Belter nope. It was decided to let Java do it and then send the info to the server. Although I'm pretty sure there should be a way to do it in a web page, I did not find it and never looked into it since then – Oller

@Oller Any solutions for this? – Epicureanism

@Epicureanism nope, did not find it. It was decided to use Java and then send the request to the server – Oller

@Oller Ok, thanks. – Epicureanism

i know this is an old question but did you find any solution? – Anatomist
