Sorry, Karl, card ID is not in the ATR, unless the designer of the card has
decided to output the card ID in the historical bytes.

since KeyFile is a reference to a file on a smart card that is to be used
outside this card, why does it not include the CardID of the card the file
resides on? i think this is absolutely necessary. e.g. if i generate a
key-pair on the card i want to refer to this and exactly this key in a
later
session. the path is not enough. a other card could have also a key at the
same path, but of course it will include a other key. i needed this
feature,
so i had to include the ATR of the CardID in my class.
is there (a good) why not to provide this in the default implementation?
i can imagine that there are cases where the path is enough, but is it
enough in general?
am i the only one facing this problem?

thanks for comments
