Not sure I got that. Cards sign whatever users instruct them to do. At least using Java's JCE there are no other operations than I just mentioned and I don't see why there should be anything more to authentication unless you are thinking about PINs but that was sort of understood. What I'm missing? Then there a class of cards that do not fit this description such as passports, health cards etc but they are unlikely to be candidates for a new token, it is an entirely different market.
