For PKI support you only need a rather tiny API. I plan to implement such an API in consumer-grade USB memory sticks. Using a PKI API scheme you don't need to abstract anything or depend on 400 pages P11 specs full with optional features making smart cards for consumers a really messy story. It's about time ending this craze. P15 - Does not add value (except for consultants...) 7816 and file systems - Ridiculous Serial t0/t1 communication - Obsolete Active card-readers - Why? P11 - 10% is OK, the rest is rubbish _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
