The smart card industry failed coming up with a unified solution where cards are tested against the platform instead of the opposite. Apple did the right thing and left this junk to a handful of "enthusiasts" to play with. Apple will embed security HW directly in the CPU and there will be no need for any third-party middleware. It will just work. Anders -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
