I don't think using RPC is a good idea.
You use a smartcard to provide security in a unsecure environment.
I don't want to send my PIN code in clear over RPC. You need to have
authentication, integrity and confidentiality of your networks
communications.
You could use 'secure RPC' but it will be hard to find implementations
of it outside SUN.
If you send your PIN code in clear over the network why not just use
telnet ? :-(
I want a secure channel between my smartcard and the program sending
commands to it.
