This interface is used in PCs (Windows, Linux, etc) for talking to smart cards. If we OTOH talk about embedded SE's like featured in Android 4.3 or your truly's SKS/KeyGen2, PC/SC is not a part of the plot. Microsoft's SE-solution shipping in Windows RT is probably not based on PC/SC since there already is another API in place (TPM or TSS).
