Hi,
it's possibly interesting, that cards exist, where the access condition
expires automatically after the operation is completed. This is how our
German Digital Signature Law compliant card works. (No, it isn't a
JavaCard.) The advantage is, that you don't have to rely on a good-natured
terminal.
