So just to get the correct impression: All design decisions regarding SM
are more or less final and consider the different needs stated in
http://www.opensc-project.org/opensc/wiki/SecureMessaging ?

OK. So at least for 7816 compliant cards we should take a more layered
approach than writing a encode_apdu/decode_apdu for each of these cards
again (-> code duplication). I have advocated for this approach earlier
(see the conversation referenced above). My implementation for nPA
separates 7816 encoding from card speciffic encryption/decryption using
call back functions. Do you want me to introduce this kind of
abstraction for 7816 cards?

Also having a look into your code, I can see that a more potent ASN.1
implementation is needed. I used OpenSSL for tags on more than one byte,
you are encoding it by hand (sm-cwa14890.c:347). AFAIK OpenSC's
implementation does not support that.
