I have a website that uses an applet and corresponding server-side API to authenticate users with a smart card and contact-less card reader.
The solution works fine on a desktop environment, however, I would like to take advantage of the NFC capability of Android phones (and hopefully also iPhone 6 onwards). The card is read just fine by these phones. The issue is that the applet will not run on these devices.
What are my options? Can you somehow wrap the applet in some other technology? Are there 3rd party apps or alternative browsers that allow for this? If I do have the functionality redeveloped into something else that can run client-side, what technology would I be looking at?
