Report CKF_PROTECTED_AUTHENTICATION_PATH to the application. OpenSC
then calls an external lib to do do what is needed to authenticate the
user.

The external lib can do anything like display a dialog box, talk to
the biometric reader, talk to a remote server, etc.

Todo list:
- define an API between OpenSC and an external lib
- define a configuration to tell OpenSC to use an external lib

I don't know how/if OpenSC can know the smart card reader is
biometric. I have not seen any thing like that in PC/SC.

A few years ago I played with fprint [1] and a COVADIS Alya reader [2].
Another API to loot at may be bioapi [3].
