Hello,

Does anyone know of a way to mark symmetric keys on smart-cards as 
encrypt-only or decrypt-only? This would basically emulate public key 
cryptography by using (supposedly) tamper-resistant hardware.

This would be a much cleaner solution than the alternative, which is to write 
a custom applet to perform only encryption or only decryption.
