CCID descriptor statistics: bInterfaceClass
Article from the serie "CCID descriptor statistics"
The bInterfaceClass field is a number value from the USB descriptor: Class code (assigned by the USB-IF).
A value of zero is reserved for future standardization.
If this field is set to FFH, the interface class is vendor-specific.
All other values are reserved for assignment by the USB-IF.
| bInterfaceClass | # | % |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0B [Chip Card Interface Device Class (CCID)] | 240 | 94.49 % |
| 0xFF | 14 | 5.51 % |
The CCID 1.1 specification gives/imposes the value 0Bh. FFh is for proprietary devices.
As with the bDescriptorType field it is not suprising that thevast majority of devices use the standardized value 0Bh.
