Reading Magtek Swipe Card Readers

843806Oct 12 2007
We are developing a Swing application and require to support the Magtek Mini Swipe Reader (http://www.magtek.com/) connected to a USB PC port, the deal is that Magtek only have a .ocx file to read the information of the card, another way of reading this information is change the device behavior as a keyboard, but we found this insecure for people that pays with credit cards because the information is printed in any text editor, or text field, we want to read the information in a HID way.

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.
