Why could NSTIC be called a smart card standard? Well, because a flexible scheme for strong authentication requires that you can distribute credentials (of various kinds) on-line directly to users. Since this is not doable using existing browsers and smart cards, NSTIC will (if it prevails), indirectly create a new smart card standard. Or to be more precise: Force/fund vendors creating an interoperable scheme for provisioning credentials, be it to smart cards or to mobile computing devices. -- Anders _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
