Thanx Rigo,

I (of course) agree 100% with what you are saying.

In fact there are even more basic issues.  As a very experienced JavaCard
technologist expresses it:
https://javacard.vetilles.com/2016/12/06/the-lowest-hanging-card/

"EMV doesn’t work online, mostly because all attempts to introduce card
readers on normal PC’s have failed, so our smart cards are useless here.
And because consumers haven’t been used to use their cards’ chips during
online transactions, they won’t do it on mobile transactions either"

I just got the following comment to a pretty heavily viewed LinkedIn publication
of mine [1]:

However, it seems that the eID vendors intend to (at any cost) cling to their
original proposal to the market instead of aligning it to the reality.
