Marten,

you could use https without client authorization at the browser level (or
even omit that)
and open a new https session from the applet that uses a smart card to
perform
client authentication.
What you need is a client side SSL implementation (well, actually a java
https protocol handler) that uses opencard
and the smartcard to perform the client side signing.
Unfortunately I do not know of any such implementation.
