Peter, I have a question about some of your assumptions:
(3) Ill assume modern die for ICCs support USB [...]
How likely do you think this to be the case? We are considering adding USB contacts to some of our products that contain internal readers and I am collecting data about how useful it will be over the next few years to have a reader that supports USB.
(4) Ill assume the ICC is mounted in the 7816-1 package, managed,
personalised and issued in that form by a card management
> system; is used operationally mostly in a PCMCIA reader > (whose own reader is present in most command and control
workstations) and a PKI manages the lifecycle of the combined> unit (trusted PC card + 7816-1 ICC)
I think that I missed some of the initial part of this thread. Is #4 an assumption for a particular type of environment or system such as a trusted/CC/RAPIDS type of deployment, or is your assumption for the general computer-based smartcard area?
thanks!
mike

Never make assumptions... they are usually wrong.
