BuyPass switces to Java to interface with SmartCard

BuyPass is switching to using a Java implementation to interface with their BuyPass SmartCards. This is good news for everyone using a 64-bit Linux operating system. Their current access library called jnipcsc is only available for 32-bit architectures, and even then it's a pain to get working. They estimate that the new version of the BuyPass Java applet is ready for release in march 2009.
