Changing PINs of German bank card

2017-07-10 Thread Guan Xin
This is probably a general question -- I have never seen a German bank that allows changing the PIN of a card. So I wonder if it is because using a fixed (non-changeable) 4-digit PIN mailed in clear text really safer than using a 4 to 6 digit variable length PIN that never explicitly appears

since german bankingcards / even girocard should comply to EMV Standard a change of PIN via Issuer Script should be possible - if the issuer - your bank - supports it. FYI: You have to change the PIN in the Card for offline validation and the PIN stored in the issuers backed. In e.g. switerland

gpgme - raw RSA operation using GPG public/private keys?
