But I do not guarantee it is bug/issue less :-) Some cards require a feature not supported by all pinpad readers. I don't know if this status is documented somewhere.

AFAIK pinpad support is ON by default if a pinpad reader is detected. But you can disable pinpad support in OpenSC if you want/need. Some pinpad readers have what they call a "firewall". The reader will not allow you to use a VERIFY command without using the pinpad feature i.e. it is not possible to send a PIN 'in the clear' to the card without using the pinpad feature. > As usual, there will be free hardware for main hackers. What models do you have? Maybe you have a pinpad reader I do not have myself already.
