yes. hmm,, strange, you shouldn't need a profile file unless you want to 
change the card. using it should be fine without the profile file.

why do you want to use opensc for encryption?
smart cards are usualy used for signing or decryption, but encryption is 
usually done in software, since it only uses the public key, and any desktop 
pc is much faster at that than a smart card.

for testing decryption or signing you can simply use the pkcs15-crypt command.
the regression test suite has some examples.

note that pkcs11-tool --test does give errors about tcos cards, as it tries to 
test some modes that tcos does not support (or more specific: that tcos could 
support, but the keys are usually restricted to deny that mode, and opensc 
isn't precise enough about that yet).
