CCID descriptor statistics: idVendor

Article from the serie "CCID descriptor statistics"

The idVendor field is a text field from the USB descriptor: Vendor ID (assigned by the USB-IF)

As always the "#" column indicate the number of readers with the given idVendor. For example 28 readers have the same idVendor 0x04E6 (now Gemalto).

We have only 69 different idVendor but we had 86 different iManufacturer (see the previous article CCID descriptor statistics: iManufacturer). So the same idVendor is used for different iManufacturer.

As I wrote the in previous blog article the same chip from a "major" smart card reader manufacturer is also used (sold) under unother manufacturer name.

Here is a list of the 69 different idVendor and the iManufacturer used with the given idVendor.
