Restarting the "Smart Cards for the Web" Discussions

Since these discussions seem to end-up in veritable "flame-wars", without any technical substance whatsoever, I suggest that we try (to the best of our ability...), to take one issue at a time and see where that leads us.  I'm counting on Virginie collecting and monitoring the issues.

May I start with one issue?

"Dealing with different security hardware"

There are many types of Security HW and systems.  Their interfaces are ranging from low-level ISO 7816 APDUs to high-level TEE schemes[1,2] where the input may be a transaction request and the output a transaction response while device I/O is taken over by the TEE.

Question: How is this variation supposed to be dealt with?

Cheers,
Anders
