I've already seen a smartcard that hosts a battery, a display and a
button in a standard ISO form factor (it uses the sc chip to henerate an
OTP every time the key is pressed), so 'technically' we're quite near to
a card that shows anamount to be authorized and a "blinding factor" for
the PIN (5 digits, to be added one-to one to the actual PIN, so snooping
the keyboard is useless), or even having an integrated pinpad to enter
the PIN w/o relying on an external device.

Too bad that producing such a card would require a "big" rethinking
(well, not "too big", since something already exists along that lines),
and that costs quite a lot... EMV could surely do that, an hobbyist no
(unless his name is Bill Gates).

BYtE,
 Diego.
