The card maintains the final authentication/authorization requirements. There 
are keys like signature keys which require a PIN verification before each and 
every operation and there are keys that work as long as they are once activated.

With such a locking behavior it would make sense to build a direct PKCS#11 -> 
CCID usb stack instead.
