We already have File System and Card Sync Card Store providers. Looks like for your case, you need a memory based Card Store provider that loads cards from USB key when there is DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL notification and remove the cards from memory when Selector exits or DBT_DEVICEREMOVECOMPLETE event happens. I think this might be very close to the SmartCard support that FC2/ Gemalto people are implementing. The change might be only in the type of device detected and how to auto-import the cards from usb key from a specific location. May be we should ask FC2 folks on their plan to contribute their code to higgins and try to build something on top of that for usb key. -Jeesmon
