the issue with x9.59

and aads
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/index.html#aads

is that there is absolutely no changes to existing infrastructures,
business processes and/or message flows ... they all stay the same ...
there is just a straight-forward upgrade of the authentication
technology (while not modifying existing infrastructures, business
process, and/or message flows).

aggresive cost optimization for a digital signature only hardware token
would result in negligiible difference between the fully-loaded
roll-out costs for the current contactless, RFID program and the
fully-loaded costs for nearly identical operation for a contactless,
digital signature program.

the advantage over some of the earlier pki-oriented payment rollouts

is that in addition to addressing evesdropping vulnerability for
data-in-flight
(already addressed by the simpler SSL-based solution) ... it also
provides countermeasures for impersonation vulnerabilities as well as
numerous kinds of data breach and identity theft vulnerabilities.
