i have the same problem. the reason is:
the GPK card services do not implement this feature. you cannot protect
public key files with a secret code using the current GPK services. i
suggested this improvement to gemplus serveral weeks ago.
the development of the GPK card services did not make any progress for
several months. i had contact to a developer there, but he switched to an
other department. i tried to contact the people responsible now.
unfortunately they didn't even answer my mails.
the GPK services would really need several improvements and i'd like to make
several suggestions. perhaps someone of the people from gemplus follows this
mailing list.
best regards
