This has been done before, for example, look at
http://vsmartcard.sourceforge.net/ which provides a nice PC/SC interface
to the virtualized card. However, there are a lot of smart cards out
there and you would have to implement a state machine (and other
characteristica) for each of them. Virtualizing smart cards would be
much simpler if the smart card OS was available. Then all you would have
to virtualize was I/O...
