There's an example on how to sign using a Belgian id card. Each card is a 
case. You have to remember that even if the interface to the card is some 
kind of standard like PC/SC ou CT-API what's inside the card is an 
application with it's own rules.

There's nothing easy in signing. You can use the CMS in BouncyCastle to 
build a signature but I would hrdly call it simple.

I'm afraid you can't do any shortcuts here.
