>Giving (indirect) access to low-level cryptographic operations to a card issued by your employer, government or bank is another thing.

It will give nothing. If there is a low-level cryptographic operations, they are protected by a strong mechanism otherwise it is not a trusted hardware.

>A famous French smart card vendor tried to get support for a smart card API in browsers. After five years with no progress they quit the W3C.

They are talking about strong identity and tracking issue. Nothing about smartcard.

@cyberphone I understand from all your post here that you are not friendly to NFC/RFID. This is probably because of the vision coming for PKI used in such field. Yes PKI can be used by this technology but not only. Even here PKI would not be an issue if the hardware used to store it allows only strong communication channels.

BLE has the same issue that NFC/RFID about security. It depends on the hardware and communication channel.

Please @cyberphone stay focus about NFC/RFID discussion.
