Hi, just a couple of comments:
> Are your key sets relevant to the encoding of the APDU? If not, then you > could see key sets as part of the crypto layer. The block size of the cipher is relevant for padding. So it actually depends on the notion of key set you decide to implement. If you keep the specific block size out of the key set, it is not relevant. (On a related note: if I understand correctly 7816-4 allows, but does not mandate, to use block chaining across different APDUs in a session, so that you have to keep some state across different commands in order to recover the initialization vector.) > I agree. But you have to keep in mind that ISO-7816 subsumes multiple > cards, which only differ in crypto. This might have some small variations in the implementations. For instance, the Italian CNS (national almost-eID card) seems to follow 7816-4 where, when using SM authentication, the first block contains CLA, INS, P1, P2 + padding. But the padding is not 80 followed by as many 00's are needed to complete the block; rather, it is only 00's. I think that these quirks could be best handled by flags, if they are reasonably few.
