Not necessarily. OCF has a few drawbacks. It's Java-specific,
local (one single VM, but I guess they're working on it), assumes
that all smartcard services and their implementations are known in
advance. Very small devices would have a hard time running it.
(Of course, for Java applications it's well-suited.)
I think the networking aspect is not taken into account as
it should be. Maybe you want to take a look at
