The protocol is different, but the cards that support T=1 are not "better" than cards that support T=0. These are different protocols between the card reader and the card. If you want to know the technical details of both protocols, find the ISO-7816 document. There exists T=0 smartcards with a cryptoprocessor, of course: Gemplus' GemSAFE, Schlumberger's CryptoFlex and CyberFlex, ZeitControl's BasicCard ZC5.x, ... to name a few. -- Erwann ABALEA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - RSA PGP Key ID: 0x2D0EABD5 ----- D�sol�, je suis vraiement trop con (mais je l'admet), j'y comprends rien � ces "kill file", pour moi c'est juste une sorte de censure/m�pris public. -+- GA in Guide du Neuneu d'Usenet - N'avouez jamais. -+- *************************************************************** Unix Smart Card Developers - M.U.S.C.L.E.
