I don't know if I will follow this direction. It seems to be a serious hack :-) My proposal is not incompatible with the present situation. A driver using the "old" scheme (CT-BCS command in SCardTransmit) could _also_ support the new one (SCardControl) without breaking any thing. Anybody knows of another way to perform a "secure PIN management"? I can easily imagine that every reader manufacturer has a different (proprietary) solution.
