Tim,

I may be wrong on this, but I believe you can "simulate" a logout command by selecting the card's Card Manager and then the applet again. Not sure if this will work with the CAC since it has a shared ID applet which manages PIN state, but it is worth a try ....

Thanks,
Dave

1) The relevant specification is NIST SP 800-73 which does include the

NIST800-73 is PIV. PIV != CAC. I have to cope with existing CAC cards for now and for the next three years at a minimum. The DoD won't start issuing cards with PIV-transition support until October of this year.

2) AFAIK CAC is not compliant with either this specification or GSC-IS
v2.1.

CAC is compliant with GSC-IS 2.1, and was always aimed at GSC-IS compliance. It's NIST that changed it out from under us with the PIV spec. Bastiges! ;)
